Google's blog search gets a menu boost

Over the summer I posed the question If Google is so great at usability, why…, raising the odd location of the “Blogs” option on Google searches.

It looks like Google now acknowledges the point I made (though I suspect it wasn’t my blog post that triggered the thought!) as the new look Google interface, which is coming our way soon, moves the “Blogs” menu option to a more prominent location.

It isn’t there in the main left hand menu, but if you click on “More” to get extra options it is second from top of the expanded list, just behind “News”. That makes much more sense than the previous burying of “Blogs” half-way down.
