Since the old Google+ interface was removed, forcing everyone onto the newer one, I noticed that Blogger no longer presents your communities (ones you're a member of) when sharing a new blog post. It only shows people and your person categories. What's the recommended method of sharing to a community now?

Tony Proctor - I did a blog post that I shared with my community in the new Google+. I haven't had a problem. I just start by typing my community name. I don't think I just the "+ " sign as I would for a person.

Here you go. I clicked the Share Button on the right and this popped up

I don't understand what's happening Russ. When I hit the share button on a blog post, I get a list showing just Public (default), and my Circles. I can add explicit people using "+" (or "@") but it's no longer helping me with Communities.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see that you're doing it from the Google+ window. I'm doing this from my Blogger dashboard. Looks like something there is broken.
ReplyDeleteYes, I get my blog post into G+ or YouTube, then to my Community. Because I am video blogging most of the time, I am getting to my community from YouTube. But that screen capture was from G+ not Blogger
ReplyDeleteTony Proctor what happens if you click the G+1 button on the Blogger blog post itself? Was posting to a Community there before? I notice it still uses the Classic post window, which may be in the process of being updated.
ReplyDeleteI get exactly the same list, Peggy: Public, my Circles, and my Collections (missed that last time), but no Communities.
ReplyDeleteTony Proctor please check this thread in the Blogger help forum to see if this is the same issue: productforums.google.com - Google Groups
ReplyDeleteTony Proctor - Got a question for you. When you tried to Share with a Community, did you click on the Public (blue) word to the right of your Name? I just Shared your RootsTech Blog post with the DearMYRTLE Community, and realized that I, by habit, clicked on Public for my list of communities. I don't have collections, so i wouldn't see them.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Russ
Tony Proctor FWIW I can see the same thing: the G+ button on Blogger pops up a Classic post window, and that just goes blank if I try to switch the audience to a Community.

ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't do it that way Russ.
Peggy K
ReplyDeleteThat is the same problem Peggy. I searched but didn't find that one. The list is empty for quite a while, but eventually populates with everything except the Communities.
Tony Proctor
ReplyDeleteI went to your Blog and see what you are talking about. It gives you faintly who you can Share the Blog post with. A Google+ Community is not one of the options.

ReplyDeleteIf you mean the "G+1" button then that shows the same restricted list, Russ. I haven't changed anything on my blog so something must be broken.
