Blogger Beta 3.0 service can now be linked to your Google account also. Let's look at the new features and screenshots.
You can choose who can view your blog just by adding their email address. Blogger now lets you create a private blog or one that only your friends can read.
Goodbye del.icio.us-Blogger category hacks. Now Google has included native category support in blogger under the name "Labels"
These little snippets of code will help newbies without HTML skills embed photographs, RSS feeds, Javascript snippets, etc without any programming knowledge.
You can now create a CSS file for the font size and colors by clicking the color picker. Blogger would generate the backend CSS for you.
You can have a feed for all the comments on your blog, and even individual feeds for all the comments on each separate post. There's support for the RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 standards.
Google Blogger doesn't require you to republish blog when you make a post. The software will do it at the server side and you don't have to manually republish it.

Since the time i began blogging -www.worldofindia.blogspot.com-i have noticed an appreciable rise in my internet bills. .

hi Amit,
Nice post but I think it is still in beta mode aka blogger beta. 2ndly I am not sure if there is a way to make categories. It is sort of making tags for your posts so your posts are better identified in SE but otherwise I don't think there is a way to categorize posts.

But keep in mind that if you create a Private Blog you have to come up with some sort of work around if you want your Readers or Authors to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed for the blog.
There's nothing in Blogger Help about this issue. Blogger customers have asked about it on the Google Group for Blogger but so far no response from anyone from Blogger.
Possible work arounds are discussed here:

Most of it is over my head technically but a lot of you smarter guys (and gals) will probably understand it. ;)
