Like other social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), Google + allows you to create a widget from your profile, as a sort of badge of their information. The novelty is that now began to appear some plugins directed to him. 

The plugin Script Google + Profile + widget, for example, allows you to add on your website or your blog Wordpress + Google widget. In it, you will see your photo, a box to add it to the network, and also the possibility to activate the links for available networks in your profile.
In Step by step we will see below how to add and add the widget to your website or blog in Wordpress:

Step 1. Sign in to your account and download the Wordpress plugin on this link;

Step 2. Extract the files into the Plugins folder (located inside the folder of wp-content root of your site or blog);


Step 3. On the control panel of your website or blog, enable the plugin Script Profile + Google Widget;

Step 4. Widgets menu, drag the plugin to the sidebar panel. Fill in your details:

Googe + ID: is the number that appears on the link in your profile Google +;
Width: the width (in pixels) that the widget must have;
