Adding G+ to a SquareSpace Site

Simple.

1. If you haven’t added a Social Links Widget, now would be a good time.
2. Download the G+ icons and choose the one you want.
3. Under Website Management > Data & Media > File Storage > Upload Files, upload the icon.
4. Get the icon’s URL, something like:
   

   

   But you should use the relative URL in case you change the domain name sometime in the future:

   storage/g-plus-icon-16×16.png

   But this doesn’t work if you need the widget to be consistent across multiple pages with different URLs (like About Me and the homepage/root URL)…if anyone knows a better solution than absolute URLs, let me know 🙂

5. Under Website Management > Members & Accounts > Member Accounts > (Select your account) > Social Profile, add the following:

   

6. Congratulations – just remember to verify you got it right 🙂
