I recently received my invite to Google Plus and I must say that I like what I see so far.\u00a0 The Droid phone AP allows you to have text chats with one friend, select friends or your entire circle(s), you can video chat, determine what you want to share by groups. I certainly can see where I will be moving away from Facebook as soon as I get my best buddies migrated over to G+. (2016 Update, that never happened)<\/p>\n

One of the first things I did is to install the plus one button, this displays on each individual post. To do this quickly and efficiently I used the Google Plus One plug in, once installed it was good to go. You can check your setting to decide if you want the plus one to go before the post or after, decide if you want the count to show and adjust the size; there are a few more tweaks I didn’t bother with.<\/p>\n

From there I wanted to have a link to my Google Plus page, GoogleCards was the answer to this issue. Thanks to James Pruitt who I met on BlogEngage<\/a> for the heads up on this neat plug-in.\u00a0 You can find GoogleCards from your dashboard plug in add screen. With GoogleCards your site will have a box in the widget section where people can connect to you via your Google+ account. The set up for this is very easy as well, once the plug in is activated you place the widget in your side bar, insert your google plus id number in the set up box and that is all there is to it.\u00a0 Your google plus ID number can be found when viewing your profile while in Google plus, it is the long 21 digit number in your web address bar.<\/p>\n

The other place I wanted to place my plus one was my actual website, Google Plus has very easy to follow instructions on how to place this function on your site. Not only did I add my google plus button in my side bar but I also added to my website. Since Google will be using plus one to aid in searches this is a very important aspect to the add to your site(s) as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
