A bit ugly. \u00a0I probably will end up relinking to those items (rather than sharing), or doing them to specific Plus circles.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a fair amount of cruft that comes up in those posts &#8212; the &#8220;comment&#8221; by me, then the link, then the excerpt and picture (if any), then a link to the original Plus post, then (until I get the $10 pay version) a link about the plugin. It&#8217;s not <em>too<\/em> bad, but it&#8217;s a bit annoying.<\/li>\n<li>The first line of the Plus post turns into the title of the blog post. \u00a0I just need to be sure to follow those rules in my Plus items.<\/li>\n<li>Everything comes across as a single catogory. But since these are full-blown posts and not Potpourri linklists, I will probably need to go in and add categories after the fact (homework!).<\/li>\n<li>I need to learn a bit more about how it synchronizes. At the moment it goes back (defined number) posts, and supposedly syncs up the comments as well. It will also overwrite any changes I make in the post or title (including categories?) unless I tell it to leave already-posted items alone. \u00a0Must experiment.<\/li>\n<li>There are some odd time zone issues moving from Plus into the blog. \u00a0At the moment, it seems to want to post local time (MDT) at the time it would have been in the UK (Greenwich time). \u00a0I.e., something I shared at Monday 9:01pm MDT in Plus shows up as a scheduled item for Tuesday 3:01am MDT because Monday 9:01pm MDT = Tuesday 3:01am UTC. That&#8217;s something the developer seems aware of, but very few folks have complained about. (Nevertheless, it does generate a Tweet as a published post. Weird.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This will take a bit of playing with.
