10 things that every new G+ user should know
1) Who to share with.

2) Who can comment on your public posts.'
If you are under 18, your default is only people in your circles can comment. Since you haven't added many people yet, most people can't reply to you. To change this, go to plus.google.com/settings

3) My posts are not showing in communities

4) Posts in public communities are public.
Everyone that visit the community can see them.
Even if they are not community members.
They will show up in G+ search results.

5) I can't change my name.
There is a limit of 3 different names within a 90-day period.
You will have to wait.

6) I want to change my customised G+ URL.
Simple answer. You can't.
But there is only one hope.
Use the Send Feedback feature from the account that owns the URL and explain what you want and why. You will rarely be successful and almost never you will get an answer, but all you can do is try.

7) Do not set audience restrictions by country or age, unless you really have a valid reason to do that.
