The official announcement for +<\/span>Daniel Treadwell<\/a><\/span>'s new SM2WP system — in particular, the module to bring Google+ content into a WordPress blog, which I mentioned the other day. <\/p>\n

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm a very happy customer. I can't wait for the Twitter module in particular.<\/p>\n

Google+Blog for WordPress is riding off into the sunset…<\/b>
But fret not, there's a new sheriff in town<\/i><\/p>\n

It has been almost 3 years (wow!) since the announcement of Google+Blog for WordPress and the uptake was much more than I ever expected it to be. Thousands of people explored the concept of using their Google+ content as a way to spice up their blogs, to keep their own off-site version of their posts, or to simply share content with those that aren't on G+. Given the ease of creating long form, media rich posts, who wouldn't want to use G+ as their content management platform?<\/p>\n

But as software is updated over time it can get a little clunky and less efficient. I was never happy about the requirement of an API key and there have been many requests for more flexible templating. So with the plugin begging for a major update it has received one, as well as a rebranding. [Existing supporters receive a free upgrade, check your email or message me]<\/p>\n

Social Media 2 WordPress for Google+ has arrived<\/b><\/p>\n

This plugin has been rewritten from the ground up, promising to be faster and easier to use. A little feature rundown as follows:<\/p>\n

* Import posts from multiple G+ profiles or pages
* Transfer comments from G+ into your WordPress blog (with author attribution)
* Complete customisation of how posts are presented with templates
* Support for feature images
* Filter imports by hashtag (inclusive or exclusive)
* Customisable scheduling of imports
* Updates from within WordPress
* and much more…<\/p>\n

More details about the plugin and Free \/ Paid ($19.99) versions are available on the website @ sm2wp.com<\/a>
Support and feature requests provided via G+ Community @ goo.gl\/nAsuYy<\/a><\/p>\n

This is just the beginning for the new suite of plugins, with support for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Blogger to follow.<\/p>\n

The plugin has been recommended by +<\/span>Guy Kawasaki<\/a><\/span>, +<\/span>Peg Fitzpatrick<\/a><\/span>, +<\/span>Vic Gundotra<\/a><\/span>, +<\/span>Amanda Blain<\/a><\/span> and +<\/span>Robert Scoble<\/a><\/span>. Used by photographers like +<\/span>Colby Brown<\/a><\/span> and +<\/span>Brian Matiash<\/a><\/span>. Written about by +<\/span>Nancy Messieh<\/a><\/span> (@ +<\/span>The Next Web<\/a><\/span>\/+<\/span>MakeUseOf<\/a><\/span>), +<\/span>James Brandon<\/a><\/span> (@ +<\/span>Digital Photography School – dPS<\/a><\/span>) and many more of you on your profiles and personal blogs. Thank you again for all your support, I hope that it continues into the future.<\/p>\n

If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to let me know. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.<\/p>\n
