Google+ doesn't offer a ton of formatting options for your posts and the ones it does have you have to remember the markup to use. This isn't so big a deal for those of us who use it regularly or have been around since the beginning. However, it comes up often when I talk with new or infrequent users. So I created a Google Chrome extension called 'Post Editor for Google+' to help!
Post Editor for Google+ adds formatting buttons to the bottom of the post box so you can easily style your posts. It also includes a variety of symbols that you can automatically inject into your post.
You can grab the extension from the Chrome Web Store: http://goo.gl/ywkWj3
It's been updated to work on the main post post box, pages, communities, and brand pages.

Right now it works with the main post box. If enough people find it useful I can extend it to work with the comment fields as well.

Thanks Paul

Not working for me. I an add a smiley, but not highlight text and add a link.
Nor can I make a text bold.
Awesome update +Paul Spoerry 🙂 As usual great job on this!
I just installed the +Google Chrome plugin for it.
Thanks +Frank Rizzo +Liz Quilty +Daniel Futerman and +Denver Prophit Jr. !
+Bjorn Bertilsson If you PM me some info on your setup I can look into it. But… there is no "add a link" functionality FYI. But send me info on your OS, other extensions installed, etc. You can also submit issues on GitHub: https://github.com/PaulSpoerry/PostEditorForGooglePlus/issues?labels=bug&state=open
