I've been using 's Google+Blog<\/b> plug-in for WordPress for some time, to take my Google+ posts and shares and pull them into my WordPress blog. I'm a big believer in being able to aggregate my social media content back to my blog, where I can "own" and it's not subject to the whims of services going out of business or changing their policies.<\/p>\n

He's now fully rewritten the plug-in as part of Social Media to WordPress<\/b> — an effort that will be extending not just to Google+ but also to Facebook and Twitter. I've been assisting in the beta testing, and it's operating solidly. It's also a heck of a lot easier to install and update, and has built-in templating so you can control (in layout and with CSS) how the content will look on your page.<\/p>\n

Good stuff, highly recommended. The free version is available at the WordPress site (http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sm2wp-google-minimal\/<\/a>), and you can check out more at the SM2WP site (http:\/\/sm2wp.com\/<\/a>). There's also a G+ support community (https:\/\/plus.google.com\/communities\/112259832283760505227<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
