  I would like to add social media icons to the menu bar on my wordpress.com site. I am completely ignorant when it comes to writing code. Based on some research, it seems like I can add code into the CSS classes box, I’m just not sure what to input so that my image comes up. Is there a way to do this?

  Yep! The CSS will be theme-specific, so the first order of business is to make sure you’re all set with the best theme for you. If you are, then the next step will be to setup a widget with the icons you want in it. I know that a lot of people really like using the About.me widget for that, so maybe start there:

  Once you have the widget setup, reply back here and I can help you write the custom CSS that is needed to move whatever widget you decide to add to a different spot.
