Well it looks like I can automatically share to G+. That's 1 out of 3. RSS Graffiti on Facebook should import these posts into my Facebook stream but Blog Post #1 didn't show up. I hope that is because I created the 1st blog post before I set up RSS Graffiti. We'll see if this works.
I've also followed my own blog posts using my Twitter account to I hope a link to this entry also now appears in my Twitter feed ... I suspect, thinking about it as I type, that *I* might see the blog appear but no-one that follows me on Twitter will ... Hmmm ... So far this has been less than successful!
I may have to accept I need some sort of third party aggregator to achieve what I want!

1st Blog
Not the most original title for a 1st blog. I really didn't spend a lot of time on it at all.
Really, what I want to test, is Blogger's ability to cross post to twitter, Facebook and Google+.
Google+ is by far my favourite but it is still very limited as far as audience. Facebook still has G+ beat hands down and I think I even have more followers on Twitter than I do in G+.
But it is still annoying to have to post a status update in all three which means I usually neglect G+ (there's no-one there anyway!) and then ditch Twitter when the message gets longer than 140 characters leaving bascially just Facebook.
So I'm hoping that Blogger can solve the problem by appearing my G+ feed - hopefully natively since they are both Google products = as well as posting to Facebook and also a short URL to Twitter.
If Blogger doesn't work, I'm fairly sure I could do it from my even more neglected blog site at JackCorbae.com.
So there we go. A 1st blog to experiment with! Let's see how I go! :)
I also might want to experiment with the formatting options ... this looks pretty ugly so far! The editor doesn't look much chop either! Something for another day.
