Unfortunately Google Buzz API doesn’t support shared images yet. Regarding your second suggestion, I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for sharing your ideas

A great plugin in a short period of time. I’m impressed.
If you’ll be continuing to work on this, one thought might be to add some more display options in the settings. I was able to manually change some of the font sizes and colors in the coding, along with the “title” displayed (having my name for the title seems redundant), but a lot of folks don’t have that ability. It’d also be nice not to have to redo those changes every time you upgrade the plugin (I’ve not redone them on my site since your last upgrade).
You wouldn’t need to go quite so far, but I’ve always really appreciated the customization of plugins like WPaudioplayer.

Great plugin and works a charm, it would be nice to expand the admin editing options for the plugin to include font colours for links and images.Looking forward to your next update.

I’m excited by the potential for this plugin for a ‘lifestream feed’ on my blog page. Try as I might, however (read all the comments above, deactivated then reactivated the plugin/widget etc.) I continue to get the error message: “error loading google buzz data” … frustrated! Any thoughts out there? Yes, my Google user name is correct, and has been inserted without the “@gmail.com”
Perhaps it’s another plug-in on my site causing the issue … though there is not the usual php error when this happens.
February 16, 2010
I’m having problems getting it to work,
My profile is fine, however no matter what I try, it gives the same old “Error getting data” message.
Thanks anyway!
February 16, 2010
Nice work! Can you import in this widget also some media from Buzz? Images and video, for example. Like here: http://fieldjournal.co.uk/?p=189 . Thanx.

@Michael Livingston @Bill Masson @Zhilinsky
Thanks for suggestions, guys. Some of them will be implemented in next release.
@Kate Foy @Jason
Check smurftech’s comment above, maybe that will help you.
February 16, 2010
Pretty awesome! I gave it a big spot up front on my blog!
I wish it were easier to customise though, I’m having some trouble with it right now. It’d be great if you could include some colour options and stuff like that in the settings page.
Great work though!
February 16, 2010
By the way, how come the code for it goes everywhere except ? I don’t think it really matters, but I was just curious.
(Wish I could edit posts.)

Great! Images import In version 1.3
Hm… Seems like import of links are not always working.
February 17, 2010
nice, thanks for this
February 17, 2010
Can you please address why the error is appearing – seems I’m not alone in my issues. Looks simple enough but it’s not.
Entered user name without gmail bit. How hard can this be?
Argh!!
February 17, 2010
OK, it’s all down to saving your profile on google buzz. Wow looking good once it does wok!! Cheers Sx
February 18, 2010
Thanks for doing this widget.
Any plans to make this work on WPMU? Doesn’t work yet cause WPMU doesn’t have the options.php in the wp-admin folder. Will just get a “Error! Options page not found.”

@ Lazarevic Ivan
All working on your 1.3 update!
However, when I post an image.. it only shows the text comment, and not the image itself.
Is this done on purpose, or is it a bug do you know?
Thanks again.
February 18, 2010
Apologies, I didn’t read the changelog
Ignore my retarded post.
February 18, 2010

Hi Again
Your buzz plugin is really cool but I keep getting:
Error loading Google Buzz data!
Can you help please?
Thanks

@deacon
Sorry, no plans for WPMU for now.
@maurizio
Can you please un-check Show Images and tell me if you still getting warning ?
@Jose
I test it with your gmail username and it works fine as you can see here http://test.96.rs/ . Did you enter your username without @gmail ?
