So, I'm trying out the new version of blogger that's currently in beta. So far, I've seen nothing new, but I'll take a look at the features and expand upon this post in a few minutes.
*EDIT* (about five minutes later) Okay, so what seems to be the biggest (and probably most useful...as well as the one that I can't figure out how to work) is the addition of labels to Blogger. This is what I liked most about Vox but I hated that it was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
A label (or tags in Vox) is a one to two to three word phrase that is associated with your blog. For instance, on this one, I would probably put something like "Blogger" "Beta features" "Vox" and "WYSIWYG" (and I have a habit of putting weird ones in to so I might put something like "Charlie Chaplin" just because I like being different). When you click on these (I'm not sure how Blogger is doing this one so I could be wrong) it would either take you to other posts on the same blog that is similarly grouped or it might..might...take you to a search results page with other blogs similarly labeled. Both are very handy, especially if you're looking for blogs on particular subjects. (except with my blog I like to put something that has nothing to do with it...just to be weird...that's where the system breaks down. I admit to that particular mischeivousness)
Apparently there are some template changes and other editing changes, but this seems to be the only one that effects readers. If you're an actual blogger...check out the tour.
That's all.
*EDIT* again, five minutes later: Figured out exactly what labels would do when you clicked on them. To save you the time of doing it yourself, it just does a search on the blog. I like Vox's system better, it gives you a choice. But I can't do anything about it right now.
