@karenataylor — try deleting the post from Google + editing it in your WordPress then reposting.  I know that’s several steps, but it shouldn’t be hard  

@karenataylor

The blog link you have in your profile area is http://virtuallyondemand.blogspot.com  and I see it adding your blog name and blog post title.

The image below is from clicking the +1 icon link within your article

And this is an image from copying and pasting your link http://virtuallyondemand.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-blogs-new-home.html  directly into my google profile page 

If you have another blog you are working on, please share that link and I’ll take a look at it.

I’m guessing your having the same issue with facebook, have you checked?

You need to add Open Graph meta tags to the head of your document. Since you’re using wordpress you can follow the instructions here:http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/facebook-open-graph-meta-tags/ and add it to your theme’s function file so they are brought in with the wp_head() hook.

I usually add it to the document head (in wordpress it’s usually header.php) within a condition so that it brings in info dynamically depending on what page is rendered.  If it’s a blog post you can use the post thumbnail for the image, but if it’s your hm, about, services or contact page you might want to hard code in a default image (like your logo) since “pages” don’t usually have a thumb associated with them.

I could go on about a few things, but I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the lingo or what I’m talking about.

Others may pipe up about an addon that will do all this for you. I try and use as few addons as possible so that there are fewer scripts loading, but if you’re not comfortable with the code it’s still a good option.

RE: Everything posts fine in FB and LI, so I don’t know why there is an issue with G+.

I’m not sure if we’re seeing the same thing or if you just don’t realize how it should look when you share a post on facebook so I’m including an image of what I see when I share one of your posts
You should be able to bring in a thumb image, title, excerpt and link. Below is an example from my blog

Both Google and Facebook pull this info from the open graph meta data.Here is a link to a wordpress plugin search for open graph: 
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=open+graph

I’m not familiar with any of these but maybe @rich-brooks can suggest something. He has much more experience with wordpress than I do.

RE:  I really appreciate the time you took to send your two replies, and I don’t want to you to do any more! I’ll find a work around.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I’ll settle down now:)

@kristi-hines It worked, it worked! You have no idea how happy I am to finally have that mystery solved. Thank you!

@juleswebb I don’t know anything about open graphs either, but I’m going to go to my FB page now and repost the link to see if the fix above corrected the FB issue (which it should have). Thank you!
