google-plus comments provider

[zmsp]

google-plus comments provider seems to be stuck on loading. Didn't really see any javascript error on console.

• This is a feature request.
• This is a question about using the theme.
• I have updated all gems with bundle update.
• I have tested locally with bundle exec jekyll build.
• I believe this to be a bug with the theme --- not Jekyll, GitHub Pages or one of the bundled plugins.

Not sure what's going on. I'm not seeing any script errors. Only thing I can think of Google changed the API or deprecated something.

To get this working originally I followed some instructions from a random blog post. I never could find official documentation from Google on how to embed G+ comments on a website. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they turned this feature off for new posts as they've been scaling back the whole G+ thing the last couple of years.

If you can find some documentation on how to fix or implement it directly from the horse's mouth I'll happily apply it.

This change fixed it. I am not familiar with how it loads the comment box so its not the most elegant. But let me know if you want the change and I can submit a pull request. zmsp/zmsp.github.io@23914d3

A PR with this fix would be great.
