An easy-to-use plugin which allows you to add a Google Plus profile badge anywhere on your WordPress site.

== Description ==

The Google Plus Widget plugin adds a Google Plus profile widget to your WordPress site. The plugin links to you Google+ profile and shows the number of followers in your circle as well as allowing users to add you to their Google+ circle. It will also display a custom plugin title and your Google profile picture.
<br><br>
This version of the Google Plus Widget plugin accounts for Google's recent changes in the structure of their Google+ profile pages. The Google Plus Widget plugin uses a simple cache state to store your Google Plus profile data and eliminate the need to request information from Google+ on every page load.  For the caching to work, write permissions need to be given to the /wp-content directory.  There are a lot of plugins which require this, so the directory may already have the necessary permissions. The cache file is located in /wp-content and is entitled, "plus_cards.txt."
