New Features to Blogger.com

Wow... what we have been waiting for... Today Blogger.com announced the eliminatation of Blogger.com Beta and launched the new Blogger.com -- this did come with some inconveniences, however, it has wonderful new features... The biggest inconvenience? Users must have a Google Gmail account - no big deal though - you can sign up at gmail.com (but you need a cell phone to activate - if needed, just ask me - I have a few "invitations" left on my account.)

The new features include:
  • Improved Template Customization
  • Privacy (my favorite addition) - now it is possible to limit viewing of your blog to authorized users (just need to include their email addresses under the Permissions Setting) - perfect for classes, workshops or departments!
  • More Feed Options
  • New and Improved Dashboard
  • Instant Publishing
