Vivek writes to point out his latest beta how-to... Conditional code for your widgets. Using this info, you can tell a widget to only show up on the main, post, archive or label page, and thusly customise your beta blog. All good stuff. While we're zipping through a new beta hack or two, check out Deniz's repackaging of the good ole' referrer script for beta blogs. If you're looking for a recent referrer list, this is the way to go.

When you know the Post ID#.... Richard at Philosophy, Etc points out that the comments page for a draft post can be accessed by anyone who knows the post ID. This presents an interesting (though not 100% secure) option for using the non-beta version of Blogger as a private discussion board, by circulating the post ID / URL of the comment page to members of the discussion.
Interesting to note that the comments feature gets attached to the post before publication, & that the "full" comments page appears when you do this, even if the blog you're (not) publishing to has pop-up comments enabled.
All good stuff....

There's some good stuff happening over at PurpleMoggy's Blog. Check out the Blogger Beta Feeds post for a full catalog of available feed links, & spend some time in the notes section where there are all sorts of great tips & tricks for customising your feeds in beta.
In the PurpleMoggy sidebar you'll see that the labels widget has a feed icon next to each label, leveraging and advertising the label-feed subscription option to your readers in a clear and obvious way. PurpleMoggy has a how-to for that as well. Very cool! Let the label subscriptions increase and multiply...
(well, er... increase, at least...)

Blogger Buzz reports that the beta is done cookin' and that all systems are getting towards go on wider migration / rollout. Note that (for now) this says that migration will be possible for all users, but not compulsory. I guess the whole "team blog" deal must be mostly fixed now too, then?
The addition of FTP to the beta means that account migration will soon (like Really Really Soon) be available to all Blogger users -- it's currently just enabled for blogspot users.Let's see what's next! (Really really soon would tend to suggest hours to me in terms of a timescale....)
