Improving your Google+ posts

Text based Google+ posts can be dull, and many users seem to have difficultly in making them look exciting!

Simply changing the font throughout a post can add to the the impact of them and make people read your post rather than someone else's post.

So how do you get your text to include bold, italic and strikethrough effects?  It's actually very simple.

Type your post to your stream.
Any words you want to be shown in bold simply enclose them in *’s (i.e. *text*)
Any words you want to be shown as italic, simply enclose them in *’s (i.e. _text_)
Any words you want to be shown as strikethrough, simply enclose them in *’s (i.e. -text-)

You can also combine these 'shortcodes' like so to get bold and italic for example (i.e. *_text_*)

Have fun
