As you may have heard, you will need an invitation to join Google+. If you would like an invitation, please leave a comment below, note your interest, and we’ll do our best to make sure that you receive an invitation email as soon as possible.

Welcome to Google+. From the Welcome page, you can watch three short videos that overview Circles, Hangouts, and Sparks, and you can complete your Profile.

Take a few minutes to enter information about yourself and upload a picture or two. The Introduction section is a great way to tell others about yourself. Enter the cities where you’ve lived, your schools, and your job. In a later post, we’ll learn how to customize the privacy settings for each of these categories.

Great job! Congratulations! Once you have created your Profile, it only gets easier and a lot more fun.
