In a show of humility we are not used to seeing from Google, the Blogger team published an apology of sorts today regarding a hailstorm of Blogger outages this week.
According to the team the current version of Blogger is causing massive problems for a variety of reasons which can be summed up as one thing - they have outgrown it. The post is a good read and gives some enjoyable insight into the world of Google when it turns upside down; not something I figured happened over there ;-)
The post also mentions that an entirely new version of Blogger will be unleashed soon which they promise will be far more stable - and full of goodies. Goodies you say? Well yes but I have to admit none of them are all that 'new' in the world of blogging but they sure will improve Blogger:
Content labeling: finally you can sort your posts by topic! I can't wait!
Multiple RSS: first they have finally introduced support for RSS2.0 versus just having the Atom format. In addition you can create RSS feeds for your comments site wide or per post.
Account Merging: You will now be able to merge your Blogger account with your Google Account... woohoo less passwords!
There are a few more additions that I don't find as noteworthy but maybe you will, read about the new Blogger features here.
