If you would like to embed the +1 in your blog, you may use the Google +1 plugin, go to Google Webmaster Tools, or use this code inside your themes functions.php file:

/* Add plusone.js to section of your theme */
add_action (‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,'google_plusone_script’);

function google_plusone_script() {
wp_enqueue_script(‘google_plus_one’, ‘https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js’, array(), null);
}

/* Add +one button after your post content by using filter */

add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘google_plus_one’);

function google_plus_one($content) {
$content = $content.’

‘;
return $content;
}

?>
You can style and align button in post text by applying following class

Add this code in your theme’s style.css if you want to align it to left:

.google_plus_one{
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-top: 4px;
}

And add this code in your theme’s style.css if you want to align it to right side:

.google_plus_one{
display: inline;
float: right;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 4px;
}
