Google’s +1 button is now LIVE and you can implement the code on your blog. Instead of just copy pasting the code on your blog, try achieving the functionality of the +1 button by adding the code to a social sharing plugin.

Step 2

There will be a blue colored button “Add new Button,” click that.

Step 3

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
<!– Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render –>
<g:plusone size=”tall”></g:plusone>

Step 4

Once you add the code, you should have a screen like this:
