Alignment of widgets
-
I would like to use small icons for social media links – would like to have them lined up in a 2×2 grid in my sidebar. Right now they display in a vertical list. I’m using the Image Widget.
How can I make them line up in a 2×2 grid? -
Instead of using an image widget, try a Text widget with the images included in HTML, something like this:
<a href="[Link URL]"><img src="[Image URL"/></a><a href="[Link URL]"><img src="[Image URL"/></a> -
I tried this – but WP stripped it out when I saved it:
<img style=”margin-right: 6px; src=”http://loishouston.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/facebook.png” alt=”Facebook” />
<img style=”margin-right: 6px; src=”http://loishouston.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/instagram.png” alt=”Facebook” />
What did I do wrong? -
Try pasting it here again, but first hit the Code button above first, then paste it, then hit the Code button again.
-
I did try that (twice) but it did not like it.
I am now trying the about.me option. Trying to get that page set up now and then use that widget. Can I use my social media icons there, do you know? -
I mean try pasting it here, not the widget. :)
Something is wrong with the code, and I’d like to see it to fix it.
However, you might like the About.me option better, as it will list the social networks you connect it.
Alternatively, we have the Gravatar profile widget, which is similar to the About.me widget, and you already have a Gravatar account and profile since you have a WordPress.com account.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the Gravatar widget. That will be my next try if the about.me doesn’t work. So far, it seems to be what i was looking for.
Your help is much appreciated!! -
