How to add social media icons to your blog // Blog Restyle



Hi everyone, a reader asked me for tips to personalize a blog, one of them is the social media icons. Most of  the icons and links you see on the web are not that hard to install as it seems, so here is how you can add your own icons on the blogger side bar.



1. First step is to personalize your icons, decide what size you want the icons to be, and what colors are best fitted for your blog. When you're done, save the images separately in your computer.

2.Upload your images to a photo hosting site like photobucket, flickr or tinypic.



3. Go to your blogger site and open the layout section, select add a widget, and choose HTML/JavaScript. 

4. Copy this code: <a href="http://linkgoeshere.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://imageurlhere.png" border="0"/></a> and paste it in the widget window, put the link to you social media where it says linkgoeshere, and the image url where it says imageurlhere.

If you can't find the image url, in most sites the link is near the picture if not, try searching in the share section

5. Do the same steps for the rest of your icons and test to see if everything is working properly.

Not that hard right? This post is a preparation for my next freebie that will be published on Monday, and I really like how it is turning out. Come back then if you're in a need for new icons.


Talk to you soon,
