  Is it possible to use a different source for the social media icons. the ones for the current theme are so small and square. I would love it if they were round and the same size as the other nav options.

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

  Hi!

  The easiest way to do that would be to place the social media icons in your footer or sidebar using the method shown here:

  Basically, you’ll be finding icons that you like and creating your own social media widget. Can you give that a try?

  Hm…okay, I was able to do that, however now I can’t get it to center in the bottom or the right ( i feel like it’s getting lost all the way on the left. Also, I think I would like to have this appear at the top of the page too. Suggestions?

  Hi!

  The easiest way to center the icons in your footer would be to put a blank widget in the first footer section and move the icons to your second footer section like this:

  Then, copy and paste the following under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS:

  aside#text-3 {
    text-align: center;
  }

  Can you give that a try?

  Also, I think I would like to have this appear at the top of the page too.

  This is going to be a bit tougher as the Edin theme doesn’t have a widget area near the header. The best solution would be the following:

  1. Under Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options, select the Classic menu style.

  2. Create two menus. Under the secondary menu, put your social links. Under the primary menu, link to your pages. Here’s a demo of how it would look:

  Would that work?
