Just testing out the new feature +Google+ rolled out yesterday. Since I finishing up a book I didn't get a chance to get online and and learned about this until late last night and nearly forgot about it earlier today except for a random comment I saw elsewhere which reminded me of the news I saw late yesterday evening.
Above is the Mashable article on how to actually embed the G+ post into websites, and it's fairly basic: copy the code Google gives you and then past that code into your website. But I'm using +Blogger and Blogger works a little differently. Sure for some people, coding in Blogger's HTML interface is par for course, but there are millions of people just like me who aren't coders, where do we paste that code? In the Compose window or the HTML window (located in the upper left hand corner underneath your blog's name in the blog post editor)
I chose to post the code provided by Google+ into the HTML window, just like when I post iframes and other code into this blog. No previews of the G+ post displayed in the Compose window when I switched back from the HTML editor, but the Preview showed the Google+ post perfectly clear. So, back to the HTML screen and I typed a couple of words "Just testing..." which gave me my typing point when back in the compose window to finish typing out this post. The Google+ post still doesn't preview in the compose window like a YouTube video will, but the preview window shows it just fine and soon I'll find out if Publishing the post will show up as well. Like right ... Now!
