Back in October we made it possible for Blogger in Draft users to use their Google+ profile on their blog. This option is now available to all Blogger users, and as a result, we’re starting to roll out the first of many Google+ features.
Starting today, if you have linked your blog to your Google+ account you will be presented with a prefilled Google+ share box immediately after publishing a post. The share box will contain a +snippet of your post that you can share with your circles on Google+.
Of course, you can disable this sharing prompt at any time on the “Settings – Posts and Comments” page. And you can always share individual posts on Google+ by selecting “share” underneath the entry in your post list.
You can start using the new Share to Google+ immediately if you’ve already chosen to use your Google+ profile on your blog. If you haven’t yet made the switch, click here to get started.
If you don’t have a Google+ account you can create one here, and then log in to Blogger and follow the above instructions.
To learn more, check out our FAQs or visit our Help Forum.
Want to chat about sharing to Google+ and other Blogger features with someone from the team? Join me on the Blogger +page for a live video Hangout at 3PM PST.
Happy blogging!
