===Redesign=== As part of the Blogger redesign in 2006, all blogs associated with a user's Google Account were migrated to Google servers. Blogger claims that the service is now more reliable because of the quality of the servers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://buzz.blogger.com/2006/12/new-version-of-blogger.html |title=Blogger Buzz: The New Version of Blogger |publisher=Buzz.blogger.com |access-date=December 25, 2011 |archive-date=July 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708015912/http://buzz.blogger.com/2006/12/new-version-of-blogger.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Along with the migration to [[List of Google products|Google servers]], several new features were introduced, including label organization, a [[drag-and-drop]] template editing interface, reading permissions (to create private blogs) and new [[Web feed]] options. Furthermore, blogs are updated dynamically, as opposed to rewriting [[HTML]] files. In a version of the service called Blogger in Draft,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://draft.blogger.com/ |title=Draft.blogger.com |publisher=Draft.blogger.com |access-date=December 25, 2011 |archive-date=September 12, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110912221241/https://draft.blogger.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> new features are tested before being released to all users. New features are discussed in the service's official blog.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/ |title=Bloggerindraft.blogspot.com |publisher=Bloggerindraft.blogspot.com |access-date=September 9, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120919102244/http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/ |archive-date=September 19, 2012 }}</ref> In September 2009, Google introduced new features into Blogger as part of its tenth-anniversary celebration. The features included a new interface for post editing, improved image handling, Raw HTML Conversion, and other [[Google Docs]]-based implementations, including: * Adding location to posts via [[geotagging]]. * Post time-stamping at publication, not at original creation. * Vertical re-sizing of the post editor. The size is saved in a per-user, per-blog preference. * Link editing in compose mode. * Full [[Safari (web browser)|Safari 3]] support and fidelity on both [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[macOS]]. * New Preview dialog that shows posts in a width and font size approximating what is seen in the published view. * Placeholder image for tags so that embeds are movable in compose mode. * New toolbar with Google aesthetics, faster loading time, and "undo" and "redo" buttons, also added the full justification button, a strike-through button, and an expanded color palette. In 2010, Blogger introduced new templates and redesigned its website. The new post editor was criticized for being less reliable than its predecessor.<ref>{{cite web |date=June 26, 2008 |title=Critique and Criticism of the New Blogger Post Editor β Experiment Garden |url=http://experimentgarden.blogspot.com/2009/12/critique-and-criticism-of-new-blogger.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721223554/http://experimentgarden.blogspot.com/2009/12/critique-and-criticism-of-new-blogger.html |archive-date=July 21, 2011 |access-date=December 25, 2011 |publisher=Experimentgarden.blogspot.com}}</ref> In March 2017, Blogger released new designs like Soho, Contempo, Emporio, Notable, and call them as Theme, not templates.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Share your unique style with new Blogger themes |url=https://blogger.googleblog.com/2017/03/share-your-unique-style-with-new.html |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Official Blogger Blog |language=en |archive-date=April 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405184155/https://blogger.googleblog.com/2017/03/share-your-unique-style-with-new.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2020, Google Blogger slowly introduced an improved web experience for Blogger. They moved everyone to the new interface starting in late June, many Blogger creators see the new interface become their default. Blogger is now responsive on the web, making it easier to use on mobile devices in addition to having a new look.<ref name="Official Blogger Blog"/>
