  Sorry but my answer is “no”. Are your referrinf to a free blog that’s being free hosted by wordpress.com or not? please post the URL starting with http:// when you post to this forum so your can get the correct advice. We cannot use any widgets containing these resticted codes on free hosted wordpress.com blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Please read this important entry > wordpress.com versus wordpress.org > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  I have two suggestions:
  1. Why don’t you contact the bloggers and ask them where to get it?
  2. I made my own social media icon bar. (See the sidebar in my blog). There are many free icons on the internet. I found individual icons I wanted. I made an HTML table and uploaded the images into them and linked them. It was a quick and painless process. Maybe you can do the same.

  Why not contact the bloggers and find out where the social media bar came from or seach the internet to find it or one like it?

  LOOK

  Mashable created that. A lot of sites are copying us because I guess it’s that great :)

  It’s not a plugin though – we built it inhouse. As such, I’m sorry but I can’t help.

  Right. So get busy and create one of your own is the message I’m getting and it’s easy to do so why waste any more or your time dithering about this? Go for it! make one.
