Google+ users can now use profiles in Blogger

Members of Google’s upcoming social network Google+ can now use their Google+ profiles in their Blogger accounts, the search giant said Tuesday.

 

Product manager Bruce Polderman said the option to use the Google+ profile had been previously available only to users of “Blogger in Draft.”

 

“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+,” Polderman said in a blog post.

 

But he said the more privacy-conscious can still disable this sharing prompt at any time on the “Settings - Posts and Comments” page.

 

On the other hand, Polderman said users can always share individual posts on Google+ by selecting “share” underneath the entry in their post lists.

 

“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,” he said. — TJD, GMA News
