How to Share Posts with Google+?

Share Posts to Google+

By sharing your post to Google+, you enable a completely new group of people to find and follow you.

Automatically share to Google+

Automatic sharing to Google+ is enabled by default on all public blogs linked to Google+ pages or profiles. When you publish a blog post, a snippet of the post will automatically be shared publicly on your Google+ page or profile.

To disable this setting, go to the Google+ tab on your blog and uncheck the Automatically share after posting box.

Prompt to Share after Posting

If you'd like to only share some blog posts, or share to specific circles, you can enable the option to Prompt to share after posting.

When you publish a post, a share box will be displayed. Select the circles that you wish to share with, add a custom message if you like, and click “Share.”

To enable this setting, go to the Google+ tab in Blogger and check the box to Prompt to share after posting.

Once you publish your next blog post, 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.

You can disable this setting by unchecking the Prompt to share after posting box.

If you only want to share posts sometimes but don’t want to constantly change the setting, you can use the “Share” option on your Posts page. Just hover over the post to view the option.
