News!! Novel Google+ Badges As Well As Follow Buttons Tin Flame Survive Used Inward Blogger

This Quick-tip introduces the novel Google+ plugins that Google released inwards belatedly June 2013

announced a vastly improved fix of Google+ plugins for usage with websites.

Most (all?) of them are non withal available every bit Blogger gadgets, too thus you lot bring to teach the code from the add it to your blog similar you lot would add together whatever 3rd political party code.

The novel options include a to a greater extent than "industry-standard" follow on Google+ button, too novel badges for Pages, Communities too Hangouts, every bit seen here. (I've previously explained why you lot mightiness similar to bring a G+ community with your blog.)

They are configurable (size, dark/light, style, etc) - but  you need to piece of occupation out how to apply the configuration settings to the code.   That said, I've added them to this site without whatever configuration (see the locomote past times of the sidebar), too the default options appear to piece of occupation well. And it's non genuinely every bit difficult every bit it looks: inwards full general you lot merely follow the pattern of:

• Changing   https://plus.google.com/{pageId}     to link to the "thing" (Page, Community, Profile) that you lot are displaying inwards the badge.

• Using the "<div class="g-page" data-href="https://plus.google.com/{pageId}"></div>" shape of the code, ie the 1 that's completely within a "div" statement.

• Adding extra information to it using "data-"   for example,   "<div class="g-page" data-href="https://plus.google.com/{pageId}" data-layout="landscape" data-width="200">

There is 1 interesting judgement inwards the announcement:

"Existing badges volition stick some for upward to xc days, giving you lot fourth dimension to configure the novel version for your website. After xc days, we'll automatically upgrade whatever Google+ badges to the novel design."

I wonder how that volition relate to the Google + gadgets that are available inwards Blogger's Add-a-gadget function directly - perchance they volition survive automatically survive changed too.   (In xc days ... yeah, correct ...)
