  Hi there,

  When you use the Social Media Icons Widget, the size of those icons depends on your theme’s design. The only way to change the size of those icons is to customize your theme’s design using Custom CSS, part of the WordPress.com Premium plan.

  Another option, though, is to use your own social media icons and put them in your site’s sidebar (instead of using that built-in widget). We have a guide to Add Social Media Buttons to Your Sidebar or Footer that walks through how you can do that.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Many thanks, I think I’ll try the second option.
