What does your G+ URL look like?

I have successfully added a G+ URL here at Wizzley, and it looks like this:  https://plus.google.com/+PamCarterdustytoes/

However, at Zazzle (and other places I've googled to find what it should be) it appears with a long number and not a name.  I ask because on my Zazzle profile it won't accept the link without the long number.

Now I am curious about the difference and I know a lot of you are on G+.  So if you don't mind, do you have a name or number? Am I just looking in the wrong place at G+?

I will try to use the Google Plus as you suggested. I was using a URL with numbers.....

I am not very tech savvy when it comes to Google.

Thanks WriterArtist for the reply.  I am finding that G+ is helpful for driving traffic to my blogs.  I may have to ask Zazzle about the link not working.

Your Google Plus ID is the one with all of the numbers unless you obtain your custom Gplus URL.

But, both work whether it is the one with the numbers or the one you created.

Thanks Linda.  I guess I have the custom one, but don't remember creating it.

Cool  It seems to NOT work in the Zazzle profile area, so I'll take it up with them.

It's crazy.  Why have them if they don't work.  I think I tried my custom ID and the site I was putting it on wouldn't accept it either.

My Google+ URL is a looooong number.  I wish it was just my name like Google Mail.

Here's some info I found on changing that number to a custom name.  You do it in your Profile / About section.
