Upgrade to Blogger Beta? Has anyone upgraded to the Blogger Beta? Its a one-way street and I'm, um, hesitant.

I have and haven't noticed any serious changes or drawbacks.

How does it work with group blogs? will my other contributors be locked out? or will they need to set up gmail accounts?

I started mine with Beta, and haven't had any issues.

The thing that annoys me is that I will have to use my Google account to log in. Its less of an issue since I've started to blog under my real name but that requirement is kind of aggravating.

start a new google account just for blogger. That's what I did. Not that it makes any difference in my case...

Well, I tried to do the upgrade but it wouldn't go through because there's a dead blog I used to be a part of and I can't quit the blog. I'll have to drop a note to my friend who was testing blogger out waaaay back when.

I did it last night and I kind of like it. They've finally added tags even though they're calling them labels for some peculiar reason.

I did it without a problem, but then I moved over to Vox.
