WordPress bundle Simple Social Icons

this is Deborah from Deborah Bronson how to install an icon to the bottom of this is what they look like just have to be square you can change it and I’ll show you how to do that in the back end of social media accounts that I used primarily and not already installed on your website you’re going to need to install it

simple social icons right there

I already have it installed install now you just click on that button to appearance

scroll down you’ll see a simple social icon stuff about a quarter here I already have it installed so I’m just going to show you what it looks like so that my sweater and here you can put in a title you can say something like follow me or what not I just left it blank cuz I just like the way it looks on your social media account taken away from your website so just order radius I have it set to 0 so it’s a square foot you can set it to whatever you want the higher you go the more rounded those Corners to the point where you actually be a circle if you have your icon size set to 3650 pretty much give you the circle

Center or right then you have choices for your font color you’re going to need to know the hexadecimal code so my font color is white when it’s covered over when it is being hovered over it’s also right now on the background color is gray and then when you have her over it’s actually that greenish color one of my favorite colors so there is a whole lot of social media accounts that you can add and for me I only have five of them for your social media account

for your email put in your email address you have to start it off with mail to colon and then whatever your email addresses or if you want to go to the URL for the contact faced with that you’re just going to

set up your social this is what you’ll see at the bottom

adding some styled social media icons actually very easy with Hootie and you have a couple different places you can buy those Impala blows around so I wanted to do a quick tutorial in to show you how I would do that and that would look like to step it up on your booty site I actually I’m going to open up my dashboard and go to my widget on my plug in the first I already installed it simple so so icons plug-in if you don’t have that you need to go grab it was available when you first installed foodie as a default plugin installation but if you don’t have a good appearance and widgets and I’m just going to look for a created a new widget call Simple social icons I’m going to drag that and put it in my sidebar first and

title it fun for you or what works for you open links in a new window that allows of course if somebody click like your Twitter profile it opens up in Twitter and they don’t actually leave your sight just a preference or kind of what you’re looking for I usually use that I think it’s a little bit more handy but some people don’t like it so it’s your call there the colors are really what’s going to change or make it look a certain way I’m going to just leave those as default right now so you can see what they look like as well as some really just quick changes to make it looks like I can fit in with the rest of your sight you have a number of options it’ll automatically adjust or fit based on what you’re looking for but I’m just going to do a quick add some

at the pound sign should do it looks like a link but you’ll be able to adjust that more for you course and save and if I go back and check out my page it’s right here so it actually looks pretty good and I think a nice fit I think it may be looks even a little bit cooler if you use a white background in use like a dark gray image or icon over there to change that and going back to my widget page if I go to background color and I change that to FFF which is white background Herbert color that’s okay or you could change that to 12 and then icon bunk color you do something like 333 if you want it dark and then he’ll recover over to be light or vice versa and some like 666 which is going to be lighter

is show you that I quick save and then refresh my page and see their dark without hovering in the air by however they get lighter just simply switch those values around and it would do something opposite or coarse grind whatever About You by you that would be helpful or style you can also end this quickly for the About Me section as well you can see why these into your footer and the Grace Slick so I can play them in down here to do that you can either create a new widget so if you wanted a show from both places that would work or just open your footer with one area and then slide it over or add it add a new one over there and it should have saved so if I refresh my page now I got a let’s connect and it’s got that right down there it looks a little plane with just not down there so I might slide something else like my about me or something like that just come out and play around see what looks so I think it looks pretty nice I could also use this butter to area and sign it over to be a pretty good idea

that’s it up so if you think about it they’re imaginary columns here here’s the photo is pretty cool again this is just using the default Genesis widget and I think excellent by default as long as you are using your widget or your social media URLs have you got out your Instagram account and grab your Google Plus otherwise and put those in here instead of just pound signs and save it it will be a great way to have yourself a bike ons ready to go

in this video we’re going to show you how to add social media buttons really quickly and easily to a website using a plug-in by Studio press called Simple social icons you can just install it out of the wood press plug-in repository of course and once you’ve done that you can activate it and come in your widget area and scroll down until you find simple search like from here to do is choose which particular Side by a widget area you would like this to appearing and then then you just drag it to whatever place you would like in your side by I’m going to be without the top so it’s easy to see they need to click on the little error there to Cascade all the information down and start making some changes so if you want you can put in the title it’s totally optional

up one in any way just to show you

social media links do you want these links to open a new window or yes

what size you are the icons 36 pixels use the default he can have them larger of course what is the board already should like three pixels against the default changes you like the alignment the color background colors all the colors and Sauron then when you come down you get to the various inputs that you can use so you can put a gerbil if you like emails to your email it may be anything really I’d love to be able to come

Facebook so it’s always going to be head shaped dies

I am so on and so forth down through all of those when you’re done of course as always get sex changes and then jump over your website and they go serve on the left hand side in the saibaba into that the truth comes out but they are indeed that it’ll fit into that area with this thing it may not be the best representation because that is quite a scene sidebar other course I can always go back and change the size of the actual iPhone so it’s very easy to change that require
