On the top left hand side, you’ll see a home button. Hover over that and you’ll be able to access your profile, explore new topics, follow events, upload photos, join communities, find new people to connect with, and the more tab is where you can find local stuff, games and apps, hangouts (which is like Skype), and pages. When you get lost, go back to that button. Sometimes the tabs move around depending on how frequently you use them.
The profile in G+ works a lot like Facebook. You have a cover photo, a profile photo, and then a bunch of tabs where you can find your photos, YouTube videos, things you’ve liked, etc.
To Post, you type in what you’d like to say. If you have a link, just paste it in there and it’ll pull up a preview. You can scroll through the images, just like in Facebook. You can also tag people. Where it says + Add names, circles, or email addresses, keep it public.
"Circles" allow users to put various different people in specific groupings or lists. This feature is intended to: Share relevant content with the right people. Follow content posted by people you find interesting
To get to your circles, click on PEOPLE and then click on YOUR CIRCLES. The big circle with the plus sign will create a new circle.
