I used this very nifty little tool at widgetsplus to create a Google+ badge.
  • Get your Google+ ID. (the easiest way is to login to Google+ Your ID number is the long string of numbers For example my public profile is http://plus.google.com/109563226758360576597; the ID number is that bit at the end. For more info about Google IDs, visit my post here
  • Copy your ID number.
  • Customize your widget using the widget tool. If your name is very long, you will want to use a width greater than 160 or a smaller font size (it will truncate your name otherwise). My name is georgiawebgurl;I used a smaller font size since I wanted this in my sidebar.
    • Basic settings: your Google+ ID, width of badge, and whether you want to include any of your latest posts. 
    • Main area settings: Widget colors. 
    • Title settings: Change the tag line (the default is Add Me On...)
    • Name text: change colors, font type, and size of text relating to your name
    • Button: Font size and colors for button (* makes transparent) 
    • Bottom text: Font size and color for text at bottom (including the latest posts, if you select 'Include update feed') 
    • Click on Get Code to see preview and get the code for copy + paste.  
    • Copy code.
Here is what the code looks like in case (yes, you can copy and paste the code, but then you still need to customize it for you!) mbgc='f5f5f5';ww='160';mbc='cecece';bbc='*';bmobc='3b71c6';bbgc='*';bmoc='3F79D5';bfc='1c1c1c';bmofc='ffffff';tlc='cecece';tc='6a6a6a';nc='6a6a6a';bc='6a6a6a';l='y';fs='10';fsb='10';bw='100';ff='4';pc='4889F0';b='s'; pid='109563226758360576597';
    Add your Google+ badge to blogger 
    • Go to Design.
    • Decide where you want to add it on your blog template (mine is left sidebar) and click on Add a Gadget.
