    Hi there ,

    You can get social media widget under My Sites >> Customize >> Widgets.
    You can add widget at footer or sidebar depending on your theme. Clicking on add widget you will get a search button, you can type social icon and select it.
    Here you can add social site URL which you want to use.

    You can refer the following post for adding social media widget :

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/social-media-icons-widget/

    To create a new category, head to My Site → Settings → Writing. There, you will see an option to manage categories. Select it, and click on Add New Category.

    You can refer the following post for adding category :

    Organize Posts with Categories

    Hope this helps. Have a great day ahead.

    Thanks.

    Hi wearingpinkonwednesdays,

    The information @kruttikaphalke has provided should guide you through adding categories.

    but am unable to center the social media widgets

    There aren’t any layout options for the social icons you mentioned so centring them would require custom CSS (which is a feature of our Premium and Business plans).

    or add the circular about me information like in the example

    I can see a circular photo in the sidebar under “ON THE SUBJECT OF ME” so it looks like you’ve got that sorted now.
