Google Plus for Blogger

Few minutes back i was updating my template and working on my Post sharing links. I have added 3 Social sharing links Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Adding Sharing links of Twitter and Facebook were easy but Google Plus didn't have a firm URL parameter which i could use.

So i researched a bit and came across a URL which i could use.

https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/confirm?hl=ru&url=Your_URL_Here

The above URL will share Your_URL_Here so replace this with the URl you want to share. If you are using Blogger platform and want to use this link for sharing your posts of Google Plus then you can take help of the code given belowm add it your template and use it in any way you want.

<a expr:href='&quot;https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/confirm?hl=en&amp;url=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&quot;' rel='nofollow' title='Share post on Google Plus'>Share on Google+</a>

The expression given above is for use in Blogger templates only.
