No Google+ Comments on Blogger Pages - Bug?

Google announced recently Google+ comments for Blogger. I'm using it on a couple of blogs and it's great ....
But ... They don't work on any +Blogger Page!?

Just affecting my blogs?
A small number of users?

Or, do Google+ comments for Blogger not work on any page?

As far as I can see it wasn't mentioned that comments would / will not work on pages in the original announcements.

So is this a bug?

Google+ Person Of The Week


I'm a pretty heavy Google+ user, I use it for work, play, personal branding, in fact pretty much everything.

I often come across people I "click with", even though I may not have had much personal interaction with those people. People who selflessly attempt to help others, people who have made "work" less arduous, people who I'd like to get to know better, people I just like. 

I thought it might be nice to "highlight" some of these people so that other people can discover these "good eggs".  So each week I'm going to be picking one such person as my PersonOfTheWeek
