Sign up for a Google Account through Blogger
When you sign up for a Google Account through Blogger, you may be asked to fill out your Google+ profile. Once you create a profile, you can choose whether you’d like to link it to your blog.
In other words, you have a choice between:
- Linking your blog to your common name and Google+ profile, or
- Blogging under a display name of your choice and using a Blogger profile
Linking your blog to your common name and full Google+ profile
If you’d like to link your blog to your Google+ profile, you’ll be blogging under your common name -- the name you provided when you signed up for a Google Account. If your name is Jane Smith, the name “Jane Smith” will appear on any comments you leave on other blogs using your Google Account, and on your post bylines or profile gadget, should you choose to display them. When users click on your name, they’ll be led to your public Google+ profile.If you’re comfortable blogging under your common name, you’ll find that linking your blog with your Google+ profile may increase your blog’s discoverability and make it easier for you to form communities with other bloggers and readers. You can also share your blog posts to Google+.
