Switch Blogger Profile To Google Plus

blogger-google-plusplusEver Since the launch of Google Plus, Google has been tightly integrating it with other Google Products. Now Google is trying to help the users have a unified Google Profile which can be used across its various products.

If you are using the New Blogger Interface, and you haven't yet switched to Google Plus, then you will be greeted by this message in your Dashboard.

Why should you make a Switch?

1. You can get a unified profile for all the Google Products.

2. Blogger is adding more and more G+ Features and you will automatically get these features

3. This will help you in getting your profile pictures in Google Search(To get the authorship data in Google Search results it’s not mandatory to use your Google Plus Profile)

So Let’s do the switch

You might have seen this message in your Blogger Dashboard prompting you to do the switch.
