Want your visitors to share your posts to their circles straight from your Blog? Learn how to install the Google Share button into your blog.
Since the early days of <a href=“http://academicassignments.co.uk” > Google+ it has grown</a> up to be a fitting contender to Facebook and Twitter. As of today <a href=“http://www.brandwebdirect.com” > Google+ has another add-on</a> to its huge list of features: “The Share Button”
Below is the code that will allow you to integrate the Google Share button:
<a href="https://m.google.com/app/plus/x/?v=compose&content= - " onclick="window.open('https://m.google.com/app/plus/x/?v=compose&content= - ','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-225)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><img src="http://blog.brandwebdirect.com/wp-content/plugins/google-plus-share-button//images/plus.png" width="55" height="22" alt="Share on Google+" title="Share on Google+"></a>
While using in WordPress sites you can use the plugin which can be downloaded here. As of now the plug-in only supports usage as a shortcode. You can integrate the button into a page, or a post through the following code:
[gplusbutton]
You can also use the<a href=“http://www.toprankexpress.com”> code in sidebars but it is to be kept in </a>mind that in case we call the button from a sidebar, it will share the page and not the post.
We can also integrate the code directly into the theme using:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[gplusbutton]‘); ?>
The plugin as of now is still undergoing lot of changes. For<a href=“http://corporatewebstudios.co.uk” > more updated and detailed information please visit the plugin </a> home page here. The Google Share code was from The Next Web.
You can see the plugin in action in this website. See below for the share button.

The most important part where in Subjot holds a major advantage over twitter is that it allows the users to share and post directly to the 2 major social networking sites: Facebook and Twitter. What will be an added advantage will be allowing the users to post to FB fan pages also.
But even with all the features Subjot still has to climb a lot of hills before it can actually become a “Jotting” giant which can jot away against the Tweets of Twitter.
But as of now JOT IT!
