Blogger/Blogspot recently released a new version of their software. This new version appears to have features relevant to a simple CMS (static page, albeit limited).

I read from their Buzz Blog about a few websites that don't necessarily look like a typical Blogspot blog but rather somewhat a typical website deployed using a minimal CMS software:

http://buzz.blogger.com/2011/07/you-can-do-some-amazing-things-with.html

Can anyone point resources where I can learn how to do these? (Preferably case-studies with some steps how to create such website as oppose to Blogger HOWTO).

Plus point if you can also tell me the infrastructure of Blogger.com (software stack, etc).

Thanks
