Google Plus One News, Google Plus One Project, Google +1 Information

Adding a Google +1 button on your page is a simple matter of copying and pasting snippets of code into two places on your webpage.

You can go to a Google Webmaster Central page on Google.com that will generate for you the code snippet that would enable you to add the Google +1 button on your web page.

There you can select from four different sizes of the button. The standard size is 38 x 24 pixels. But if your page has a lack of space, you can generate a smaller Medium button that is only 32 x 20 pixels wide, or the smallest Small button that is 24 x 15 pixels wide.

By default, the button will include the display of the “click count” which will require more space than the mentioned dimensions. However for each of these three sizes, you can go into the advanced options and uncheck the “include count” checkbox so as to not take up extra space by not displaying the click count. Or perhaps you simply don’t want people to see displayed on your page how many times your button +1 button was clicked. (The largest Tall size button will always include the click count.)

After you have made your selections, you will see that Google has provided you two lines of code to be placed into different places on your webpage. This code will be the same code even for different pages on your site — provided that you are not using the advanced options of “URL to +1″ or “JS callback function” (which typically you do not need to).
