Google has taken its Blogger service out of beta and has added features for customizing layouts, organizing postings, and making blogs private.

Google launched the Blogger upgrade in beta in August, making it available to only a limited number of subscribers. In launching the final version, Google has dropped the separate login for Blogger and is letting anyone start a blog by signing into his or her Google account.

The new features provide more flexibility in layout by enabling drag and drop positioning of most elements on the page. More options are given for colors, fonts, headers, and the sidebar. Google also has eliminated the need to know about HTML or cascading style sheets.
