Google +1 Button

The Google +1 button is one easy way to share a web page with people on the Google+ social networking service from Google. Google has a specific page for it. Basically you need to add a JavaScript that works on a Google XML tag. But the problem is that when you use the Google Sites service, you cannot just insert a JavaScript snippet in a page.

So I searched for a Google+ button for Google Sites specifically and immediately found this gadget posted in the Google Sites forum:

That made it a lot easier to add a Google +1 button in a Google Sites page.
