So a lesser known feature of Google+ is the ability to change the font style of your posts using some shortcodes. Want your posts to stand out a bit? Here’s how.

I. Change the Font Style of the Posts

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