Google’s latest social networking platform Google+ is gaining popularity as we can see many services being launched based on it. Google+ has a unique concept of circles where you can add friends whom you wish to follow and if you are a blogger it would be a great idea to display your Google+ profile on your blog so that readers can follow you easily and add to their circles. GoogleCards is a new WordPress plugin which can display your Google+ profile on your blog sidebar.
All you need to do is to upload the plugin to WordPress plugin folder and activate it. The plugin works as a widget, so open the widgets section for your theme and add it to the desired location in your theme. You can change the title and need to specify the Google+ ID which can be got from your G+ profile.
Overall a nice plugin, but what is missing though is the options to customize it and also for widgetless themes.

Can you send a invite Google+ for me?
Thank you very much.
I’m wondering when there will be a WP plugin with a +1 button that ties back to users’ G+ profiles. As of today, all I see are plugins that add the button, but not the call-back to G+. They function akin to “like” buttons, as far as I can tell.
If there were a plugin that tied back to a user’s G+ page, as there is for Facebook, I would install it on my site in a heartbeat.
