Quickie writeup on how to do Google+ Comments

google-plus-blog-comments.md

So you want Google+ Comments on your blog

Edit your website code and add this HTML:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
</script>
<g:comments
    href="[URL]"
    width="642"
    first_party_property="BLOGGER"
    view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD">
</g:comments>

or an HTML5 version:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
</script>
<div class="g-comments"
    data-href="[URL]"
    data-width="642"
    data-first_party_property="BLOGGER"
    data-view_type="FILTERED_POSTMOD">
</div>

To insert a comments counter, add this HTML code instead of <g:comments>:

<g:commentcount href="[URL]"></g:commentcount>

or an HTML5 version instead of <div class="g-comments">:

 <div class="g-commentcount" data-href="[URL]"></div>

Replace [URL] with the URL of your web page and fit the width. Link your web page to your Google+ profile to verify authorship. And if you prefer to load Google+ Comments dynamically, insert this HTML code:

<div id="comments"></div>
<script>
gapi.comments.render('comments', {
    href: window.location,
    width: '624',
    first_party_property: 'BLOGGER',
    view_type: 'FILTERED_POSTMOD'
});
</script>

Similarly with Google+ Comments Counter:

<div id="commentscounter"></div>
<script>
gapi.commentcount.render('commentscounter', {
    href: window.location
});
</script>
