  Hi!
  I was wondering if someone could tell me how to (or point me to a description of how to) get Follow Me buttons (as images) onto my blog? I’d like to have Facebook, Twitter and email at least. See the top of this blog for visual example: http://pensnpaper.com/
  Much appreciated,
  The Secretary

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

  What most people do is to locate some free download buttons on the internet and then put them into a text widget with the button linked to the particular site/service. These two support documents should get you started.

  @theadminfiles
  I think you may have posted to my blog. In case I have confused you with another user then I will share here what I did ie. what TSP suggests above.

  I captured images of the social networking icons for the sites I belonged to. I created an HTML table in a draft post and uploaded and aligned the images in it and linked them to my profiles on the various sites. Then went into the HTML editor and copied the code and pasted it into a text widget.
