Adding Google’s +1 Button to WordPress Sites
Google rolled out their +1 button today. So I added it here. You’ll find it below all the posts. Try it out. Here’s the simple-stupid plugin I wrote to do it. While you can just edit your theme, I like making these sort of things into plugins. That way, I can turn them off at […]
