Google+ Comments

The Google+ comments you lot induce got posted should endure included inwards the Google+ Stream archive you lot tin download using Google Takeout. Google+ Comments posted past times other users cannot endure straight backed up.

 On your Blogger account's Posts page, at that spot is a Share link nether each post. Clicking "Share" shares the shipping service to Google+ (to about users' confusion, every bit they await it volition render multiple sharing options).
It's non mentioned inwards Blogger's announcement, but I await that volition endure removed every bit well.
