General reminder: It's been floating around, but you should have deduced that anything public is searchable via Google search engine. That includes all G+ behavior such as 1-upping, public shares, comments, etc. It should be logical deduced that this is the case so I'm not including the link to that.
Ryan Estrada: Why individual pictures float to the top of the stream and how to avoid it:
(Also see my G+ Tip "Link to your posts in your Profile" for an alternate solution.) https://plus.google.com/u/0/116251472122668771452/posts/D2AM7abxDjr
G+ Known Issues:
(My plea: Stop posting about it, it's not new and you're not the only one.)
* Nicknames conflict with + mention in posts and comments
https://plus.google.com/u/0/116251472122668771452/posts/dFfkkwHQWu9
* Circles are no longer being sorted alphabetically, but they should. They know.
* Blocking someone is not full proof yet.
* When you remove someone from a circle, they will still show up for a while in there. Don't panic.
* Your profile picture is showing up in other people's thumbnails. We get it. They are not stealing your image.
* Sometimes you cannot comment. Don't despair, wait it out and try again later.
* Sometimes +1 doesn't work. See above.
* Comments made from Picasa don't always reflect on posts linking to the image.
* There is a current limit on how many names you can + mention in a single post.
G+ Tips:
Disable Picasa's photo share and downloading features:

Disable email notifications: This is also where you can set up SMS alerts.

Be sure to uncheck the "Also email _ not yet using Google+" if you are sharing to any circles with real people not yet on G+ or else you will spam up their inbox and make them angry. I made this mistake when I added my FB & Twitter emails. Be courteous!

In no particular order because, well, I'm kinda lazy, sorry! Not sorted alphabetically, but loosely chronological. loosely by priority/importance. Formatting suggestions welcome: Too much italicization? Add line spaces between links? What makes it easier to read? Please let me know of any errors or corrections I need to make. (I didn't use + mention for all the people listed above because it "breaks" the post somehow and I can no longer update.)
