Adding social media profile buttons to sidebar
-
HI, I’m trying to find a way to add social media profile buttons to the sidebar of my blog. I’ve checked support/forums and couldn’t really find an answer. I’ve got the images and I’ve added one using the image widget but I cant see an option to add more! I’d ideally like the buttons to be next to each other horizontally and for them to clickable of course. Is there a way to do this?
Cheers
Jose

You’ll need to use a text widget to insert the linked images. You can use the visual editor to set up your text, switch to the html editor, paste the code into your text widget.
You’ll need to be sure that the images will fit into your sidebar. Here is an article about sidebar widths:

Thanks justjennifer but I managed to sort out the tables by myself. The only thing I’m struggling with is a link to my Skype account (and which opens the application or at least asks) but Im googling to see if there are any solutions as what I’ve found so far doesn’t seem to work. :-)

Great! As far as skype goes, we can’t use the javascript code ones here on WordPress.com. Not sure that the email code will work either, but it’s worth a try.
