How To Add Google "+1" to BlueVoda, Wordpress

[Tom Finley]

To add "+1" button to BlueVoda:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, go to www.Google.com and use the link at top-right to CREATE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT ... it's free, gives you access to many essential Web tools and resources including eMail, and will assure your +1 buttons will work and allow you to manage them properly from both sides of the Net.


1. The following is placed in the End of Body tab (Page HTML>End of Body):

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>


2. Use an HTML box and paste in this code: <g:plusone></g:plusone>
You can make the HTML box smaller and re-position it to where you like it on your page.


* Install Steps 1 and 2 for EACH PAGE of your website you wish the button to appear.

* The button will not appear until you PUBLISH your page.


To see more about Google +1 (button sizes, formatting, etc.) visit the Google Webmaster Tools page HERE.
After reviewing optional formats, you can automatically configure your +1 code using the Configuration Tool HERE.

To add "+1" button to a Wordpress blog's sidebar:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, go to www.Google.com and use the link at top-right to CREATE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT ... it's free, gives you access to many essential Web tools and resources including eMail, and will assure your +1 buttons will work and allow you to manage them properly from both sides of the Net.


1. Go to your DASHBOARD > APPEARANCE > WIDGETS and add a Text Widget with the following:

<g:plusone size="tall" href="http://yoursite.com/"></g:plusone>

This gives you the so-called "Tall" button; others (small. medium, different counters, etc.) are available from the Google Webmaster Tools page HERE.



2. In the DASHBOARD > APPEARANCE > EDITOR > select and open the footer.php file to edit: paste in this code just before the </body> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>



PS: Please explore the documentation of your template before installing any custom coding: you may need to browse Wordpress Plugin's for a particular version of Google +1 plugin instead of using this manual code method, as various templates may require the use of either method exclusively.
