Google launched a new version of Blogger today. The new version entitled Blogger beta, has a bunch of features that people have been recommending since Google bought the popular blogging tool.

The major new additions to Blogger beta include:

• Categorizing posts with labels
• Blog Readers - specify who can read your blog
• Appearance changing - templates, and managing changes without HTML

Google has put together a tour of the new features here. They are limiting the number of people that will be switched over to the beta version, and current Blogger users will notice a message on their dashboard when they can enable the changes. For those that want to check out the changes immediately, Google has a way to sign up to create a new account with the new features.
