Google adds new Google+ plugins for your website

Posted by on
Google has recently announced new Google+ plugins for your website, including new follow buttons and community badges, all with a fresh look and feel.
The follow button allows your website visitors to do just that, follow your Google+ page or profile. As Google says on the announcement post, users who've already installed the +1 button will just have to configure the plugin.
The community badge plugin allows your visitors to easily preview and join your community straight from the website. We've already set up the plugins on our homepage and they look great!
