Today we’ve reached another milestone in our transition to a better Blogger: all new accounts are being created on the new version of Blogger in beta. This hugely exciting for us, because now all new users will get the benefits of the new Blogger, the foremost among them being drag-and-drop template editing, post labels, and privacy controls.

Getting started with Blogger is as easy as ever: create a Google Account (or sign in with your Google Account if you already have one), give your blog a name, and choose a template for it.

Clarifying note: You can still create a new account on the old Blogger if you need to claim a mobile blog, join a team blog, or are using a language we haven’t added to the new version of Blogger.

Update, 11/12: Mobile blogs are now being created on the new version of Blogger as well! w00t!
