Google wants to lower the barrier to entry for new bloggers who want to place contextual ads on their blogs.

Google has placed a new tool in their Blogger offering. A new option under the Template tab will let bloggers click on it to place AdSense within their sites. New users can sign up from within Blogger while existing AdSense account holders can just sign in from there.
