Introduction
I wrote a little Module for Joomla 1.5 that supports the new Google Plus One Button for your Joomla Website without working in the code or change anything in the template.
Download for Joomla 1.6
Here you can find the Download and Documentation for the Google +1 Button Module for Joomla 1.6.
Changelog/Latest Version

- show total +1 counter ON/OFF beside the +1 Button
- set a target URL for the +1 Button or keep the default (the page the button is embedded)
Joomla 1.5, Version 1.0, released June 02 2011
- change size of the Google +1 Button, small, medium, standard, tall
- add custom CSS with the +1 Button

Hi,
Wondering if you can help - i'm trying to instal this plugin on my site. It instals fine and appears on the website, but i'm trying to position it to a specific spot on my navigation bar.
How would I do this?
Thanks.
The easiest way is to change the position of the Google Plus One module until you've found the right spot. Then, if necessary, you could use the CSS parameter field to adjust the position.
I assume your menu modules are on the navigation bar. There you could find out what position to choose.
