  Hello WP, would you please advise the best way to display my social media icons at the top of my blog and to have each icon open in a separate window so the reader is not navigated away from my blog. I am using Responsive theme. Can I also change the icons from greyish to colour. Thanks your help is greatly appreciated.

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

  When it comes to widgets, the About.me one has great social media button integration:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/about-me/

  Once you have something like that setup, you should be able to use absolute positioning to re-position the icons somewhere else on the page if you’d like.

  Whether or not links open in a new browser window or not depends on the underlying HTML code (not CSS), and WordPress.com doesn’t offer the option to edit HTML like that.
