How To Mention People In Blogger Posts with Google+

Mentioning people when writing a blog post in your blogger blog post editor using Google+ is similar to Twitter and Facebook when you want to mention people in a comment which their name will be highlighted in blue color and a drop down menu show up showing different names similar to the one you want to mention, and a notification been sent to the person you mention in your blog post, that so so person has mention you in a particular place. But the one that trick me the most is mentioning people in your blog post when writing a blog post using the blogger post editor. 

You will now be able to add a link to a Google+ profile or page when you want to mention someone in a post on your Blogger blog. Google announced the new feature as a new way to grab someone’s attention from a Blogspot blog. If you share your post from Blogger to Google+ after mentioning someone, Google makes it easier to notify your mentions by including them in the sharebox.

How Do I Mention Someone in My Posts?

>> Log in to your Blogger dashboard and click on "New Post"

>> To mention someone, just type “+” before their name while you’re using the Blogger post editor as seeing in the image below.

==> The profile or page will show up as a link in your published post.

After you might have published the post, hovering over the link to the Google+ profile or page will show a card with more info and an ‘Add to circles’ button. Clicking the link takes you straight to the Google+ profile or page.

So, whether you want to credit a co-author (thanks +Jide Ogunsanya !) or me (+Odey Godwin), ask a question, or just kick off a conversation, connect your blog to Google+ and try mentioning someone in your next post!

Hope it helps!
