Google+Blog: Google+ posts and comments for WordPress<\/b> <\/p>\n

With the huge amount of interest surrounding my Google+ Blog concept on minimali.se<\/a>, the number one request was that it be made available as a WordPress plugin. With so many people asking for it, how could I say no?<\/p>\n

What does it do?<\/b><\/p>\n

Google+Blog will automatically retrieve your public posts and the comments associated with them and display them as normal WordPress posts, along with all your Google+ comments. They will also include any media that you have added to your Google+ post (photos, albums, articles and video). It will update every hour or so (providing you have people going to your blog) and will not require any intervention from you whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Can I see it?<\/b><\/p>\n

+<\/span>Colby Brown<\/a><\/span> has been kind enough to help me finalise the plugin and has also integrated it into his blog. He has a separate page that just displays his G+ posts and their associated comments. <\/p>\n

Check it out at: http:\/\/www.colbybrownphotography.com\/blog\/category\/plusfeed\/<\/a><\/p>\n

What options does it have?<\/b><\/p>\n

The plugin is quite configurable with the ability to easily change your API Key, Profile ID, Post History (how many historical posts are imported), WP Post Status, Categories and Tags. <\/p>\n

How can I get it?<\/b><\/p>\n

There are two versions available for download, one free, the other paid ($10). There is no limitation placed on the free version, but it does contain a link at the bottom of your imported posts. I have put a lot of work into this and don't believe that $10 is too much to ask for the version without a link.<\/p>\n

The plugin can be downloaded from http:\/\/www.minimali.se\/google+blog\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Usage and terms<\/b><\/p>\n

This is only the first release of the plugin and it will be updated on a regular basis. I welcome feedback and suggestions and strongly encourage bug reports. It has undergone testing, but I am not liable for any problems that are caused by this plugin.<\/p>\n

Once you have downloaded the plugin, add it to WordPress via the Plugins menu and activate it. Finish setting it up under 'Settings' -> 'Google+Blog Options'.<\/p>\n

If you need further integration message me and we will see what can be worked out.<\/p>\n

API Key<\/b><\/p>\n

You will need to sign up for a Google+ API Key before you are able to use this extension. To get one, go here: http:\/\/code.google.com\/apis\/console\/<\/a>. If needed, create a project then flick the Google+ API switch under Services. From there your Simple API Access key will be available under 'API Access'.<\/p>\n
