According to TechCrunch, Blogger is finally updating its blogging tool. That’s a good thing, as all I really need for Blogger to do that it doesn’t do right now is tags. According to the review, tags are coming, as is the ability to "privatize" content. (Man, someday I need to figure out the rules for what should be private and what should be public. Anybody got that one figured out and crystallized into something teachable?)
Anybody know if folks will be able to update older Blogger blogs to the new beta versions? I tried to figure out how to do that last night, but couldn’t seem to figure it out. UPDATE: According to Blogger, eventually users will be able to switch over from their current Blogger dashboard. I hope that comes soon.
Blogger might be my tool

Teach blogging principles. Mine are here with lots and lots of links to other examples.

Print out the hard copy.
If you leave it on your desk when class starts thats public.
If you cover it up with other stuff when class starts then it might be private.
If you put it in a drawer it’s definitely private.
If you take it home with you that night it belongs on an anonymous blog.

Thanks, Bud! I went to the site, and I don’t see anything different. What I am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the link to your guidelines, Liz. Very good stuff. Douglas — very nice and brief gut level definitions — I’ll probably use those at some point.
Beth — you need to create a new account with a Google Account to see the new features. You’ll notice subtle changes in the dashboard, but they’re there.
