  I currently use about.me as my home page. It has links to where to find me online.

  I want to do something similar using my wordpress site. Have the row of links to my social media sites and under that a row of my most recent articles from my wordpress site.

  Any advice on how to achieve this without hand coding the whole page? Maybe a plugin or whatever?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @carlthomas,

  Have you tried using the social media blocks in the block editor?

  Try clicking on the page you would like to edit, then click on the + symbol to select the type of block element (“Social Icons”). From there you can select which platforms you would like to add and enter the URL for each.

  If you would like to add recent articles, you can use the “Latest Posts Block”
