Embedding Google+ post instead of Twitter?

    I know a lot of people love Twitter, but I don’t use Twitter so the Twitter block on the bottom of the front cover remains blank. I’ve commented the code out on my site, innerthought.us, since it was just a white box.

    Now what would be really nice is a Google+ block instead! I searched to see if anyone has done this, and I couldn’t find any code for making a feed of recent public G+ posts. Having said that, it looks like that kind of feature can be developed. I found this page on Google’s development site (https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities/list) that shows how to use the Google+ API to do what I want, but I’m not a programmer so I don’t know how to add the support.

    So I guess this is a feature request to add Google+ status/post update instead of Twitter. Thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Twitter updated its API to v1.1. Twitter API v1.0 is retired and no longer functional. I’m now working on this.

    You can use the following css code to hide the white block: (paste it to the end of main.css file)

    .cover .widget-twitter { display: none; }
