Hello!

I wanted to add the twitter and facebook icons to a sidebar widget so that if someone clicks on it it will take them to my facebook fan page and/or my twitter page. What is the code that I can enter in to do this or is there a good plugin that I can use that will do it for me?

any help will be great!

Hi Christina,

First you'll need some images. Just google "icon for facebook" & "icon for twitter" and choose a pic for each around 48x48.

Upload these to your media library and take note of the url to each image. )I leave the upload screen open in another tab and and click "show" for each image -the url is at the bottom of the properties area.)

Next, in a "text" widget you'll enter the following in whatever order you want them to show in (CAPS are things you need to replace with correct URL):

<a href="http://facebook.com/YOURFACEBOOKURL"><img src="http://URLTOFBIMAGE"></a>

<a href="http://twitter.com/YOURTWITTERURL"><img src="http://URLTOTWITTERIMAGE"></a>

Have Fun!

Twitter also helps you to generate your own code for button that lets people follow you right from your website.

You can log into Twitter and then customize your button here: http://twitter.com/about/resources/followbutton

If you are using Wordpress they have some really good plugins for FB twitter and more recently Google+. I'll look up the names if its any use.
