Today I came a cross a website with a small box on the right column showing an avatar of a girl with her name and “Add to Circles”. “Circles” is the new “Friends list” when it comes to Google+ (Google Plus).
At first glance I thought that was another spam-ad, kind of like the banners we see that looked like it came from Facebook. The ones that has “1 new message please click here”. But at a closer inspection of the codes it appeared a legitimate “widget” for Google+.
If you have already added your Facebook and Twitter widget to your site like me, it would be best to have the Google+ widget too – that is if you have a Google+ Account already.
To install it is easy – see below if you can follow the easy steps.
Installation
1. Download googlecards.zip and unzip
2. Upload the unzipped googlecards folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Go to the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress and add the widget to your sidebar.
5. Choose a title for the widget and input your google+ id. (You can find your google+ id by going to your profile, it is the 21 digit number e.g. plus.google.com/YOUR_ID_IS_HERE).
This plugin is developed by the guys from - http://plusdevs.com/
I have yet to tweak my CSS though to make the GoogleCard appear nicely 
If it doesn’t work for you, hit the comments section and I may be able to help.
