II) Configure your Google Plus widget
- Go to widgetplus.com (opens in a new tab/window).
- Click “Get widget” button to open settings panel.
- Paste your Google+ ID in the required box.
- You can customize the widget -add the Google+ stream, title, change the font, colors, width, height etc.

Sadly, the website offering this widget has been suspended.
This is very nice but now its not working and site is not available
@souno
Oh, that's too bad. Anyway Blogger recently added Google+ Badge to their list of gadgets. You might want to use that instead.
Doesn't work anymore.
