Two of the biggest challenges we hear from bloggers are finding new
followers, and engaging in a dialogue with their readers. By sharing
your post to Google+, you enable an entirely new group of people to find
and follow you. When you upgrade your blog to connect with Google+,
the authorship information on your blog will reflect your common name
as listed on your Google+ profile. You can then choose to associate
certain blogs with a Page, or certain blogs with your profile. This
association determines to which streams the posts will be shared once
they're published.
When you publish a post, a pre-filled share box will be displayed.
Select the circles that you wish to share with, add a custom message if
you like, and click “Share.” Your post will then appear in either your
Page or Profile’s (depending on which you’ve chosen for that specific
blog) Google+ stream, as well as in the streams of those you’ve shared with.
Here’s how to get started:
This sharing option, along with future Blogger and Google+
integrations, is available to users who have linked their Google+
profile or Google+ page to their blogs so that they can blog and share
to Google+ under the same common name.
To associate your blog with your Google+ page or profile, click the Google+ tab to get started.
Once you associate your blog with Google+, go ahead and write your
post. After you hit Publish, you’ll see a share box inviting you to
share your post with your circles on Google+. Note that the default
circle is set to “Public,” but that you can modify your circles every
time you choose to share.
If you don't want the share box to pop up after publishing a post, you can change the settings by going to the Google+ tab in Blogger and unchecking the check box at the bottom.
If you only want to share posts sometimes but don’t want to
constantly change the setting, or if you want to retroactively share
posts, you can use the “Share” option on your Posts page. Just hover over the post to view the option.
