If you blog under your common name (eg. “Jane Smith’s blog”), you’ll find that associating your blog with your personal Google+ profile may increase your blog’s discoverability and make it easier to form communities with other bloggers and readers.
When you link your blog to your Google+ profile, you can share posts directly from Blogger to your personal stream.
You can change your blog’s association with your Google+ profile to an association with a Google+ page via the Google+ tab on Blogger.
When you link your blog to your Google+ page, you can share posts directly from Blogger to your page. If you associate your blog with a Google+ page, any Blogger gadgets that originally pointed to your Google+ profile will then point to your Google+ page. The same is true if you switch from a page to a profile.

Blogging under your Blogger display name
If you don’t want to connect your blog to Google+, you can still continue to blog under your Blogger display name. Remember that you can have a Google+ profile or page even if you choose to have a Blogger display name -- the difference is that the two won’t be linked externally.

Features of Google+ Comments
Google+ Comments look similar to traditional Blogger comments, but have some important differences. For example:- When you leave a comment on a blog, you'll see the option, checked by default, to also share that comment to Google+.
- Google+ posts that link to blog posts will show up as a comment underneath those blog posts
- If original comment is shared to Google+, replies to the comment on the blog will show up in Google+ and vice versa, but only to the people that the original comment was shared with
- If a comment is not shared with the blog author, the blog author will not be able to see the comment in either location
- As the author of a post, you’ll receive Google+ notifications when readers comment on or share your blog post.
Here is How to add your Google Plus Comments to Your Blog
- Sign in to Blogger
- Click on the “Google+” tab in your blog’s Dashboard
- Upgrade to Google+ if you haven’t already done so
- Enable Google+ Comments. Comments already made on your posts will keep working in the new widget.
