NEW WITH v1.5 Inclusion of profile pictures of people in your circle. Also fixes some minor bugs. PLEASE UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION

The Google Plus Widget plugin adds a Google Plus profile widget to your WordPress site along with the option to include the Google +1 button. The plugin links to you Google+ profile and shows the number of followers in your circle as well as allowing users to add you to their Google+ circle. It will also display a custom plugin title and your Google profile picture.

This version of the Google Plus Widget plugin accounts for Google's recent changes in the structure of their Google+ profile pages. The Google Plus Widget plugin uses a simple cache state to store your Google Plus profile data and eliminate the need to request information from Google+ on every page load. For the caching to work, write permissions need to be given to the /wp-content directory. There are a lot of plugins which require this, so the directory may already have the necessary permissions. The cache file is located in /wp-content and is entitled, "plus_cards.txt."

If you like the Google Plus Widget (developed by WebpageFX), please consider rating it on WordPress.org and leaving a review. We will be working toward adding additional functionality and value to this plugin in future releases and as quickly as possible.
