The Blogger site now includes a new "cleaner" interface, shared comments, author profiles, and posting via email.

Google has today unveiled its newly designed Blogger website, the free self-publishing service for web users and online 'diarists'.

The relaunch is the first major overhaul of Blogger since Google bought its parent company, San Francisco-based Pyra Labs, in February 2003.

Launched in 1999, Blogger helps consumers publish on the web instantly without writing code or installing software, using publishing tools.

"Blogger is committed to bringing more voices and points of view to the web," said Evan Williams, Blogger program manager and founder of Pyra Labs. "These enhancements make web publishing as easy as possible, delivering the power of blogging into the hands of more people worldwide."

Creating a weblog, or a blog, using the new version of Blogger takes three steps and just a few minutes, Google claims. The improvements also mean users can now publish to their blogs instantly from any email-enabled device, including cellular phones and handheld devices (PDAs).

Google says the new service also provides more than 30 templates for blog layout.
