How to Add Social Icons to Your Website

By Michelle Shaeffer | 99 Comments

There are two types of social networking links I recommend adding to your blog or website:

1) Links to your profiles so readers can connect with you.

2) Links that allow your visitors to easily share your content with their followers and friends on social networks.

Today I’ll share how you can add any set of social networking icons to link to your profiles.

The easiest option is to install a plugin like Cute Profiles or Follow Me.  You can install this from the “Plugins” then “Add New” link in WordPress.  But with either of these you’re limited to the style of icons the plugin uses.

If you’d like to get a bit more personalized, here’s what to do.

Step 1: Choose the Icons You Like and Download Them

Your first step is to pick the icons that go well with the vibe/theme of your blog.  Here are some I like: https://michelleshaeffer.com/get-followed-cute-icons/2011/02/25/ And some more really creative ones: http://smileyhelper.com/inspiration/30-most-creative-social-network-icons/

For this tutorial I’ll be using the icons here: http://webtoolkit4.me/2010/04/17/21-free-social-vintage-icons/ (I love the coffee cups but I want to include LinkedIn and YouTube, so had to go for a set with all of the networks I post on.)

Once you’ve chosen your icons, you’ll want to check the license (some require a link back to their website), and save them to your computer.  They’ll probably be in a .zip file which you’ll unzip after you download.

Note: If you aren’t using WordPress, or aren’t using a blog, you can still add your social networking icons to your site with similar steps.  Just upload to your website in whatever way your website builder works, then get the URLs, and add in the appropriate code at the appropriate spot in your blog template or your HTML website’s code.

Step 2: Upload the Icons to Your Blog

To upload your icons, login to your WordPress blog then go to “Media” and “Add New”

Next click the “Select Files” button.

This will open a small window where you can browse to the social icons you just downloaded and select them all to upload.  Choose your icons (hold the control key down and click to each one to choose more than one), then click “Open” to upload them.

Now you’ll see the confirmation that they’ve uploaded successfully.

Now you need to get the URL for each of these image.  I recommend opening note pad or wordpad to copy and paste them into so that the next part is easier.

To get your URLs, click that “Show” link to the right of each image and look for the URL field as shown below.  Copy the *entire* URL and paste it into note pad.  Repeat for each image.

Here’s what my URLs look like:

Step 3: Create a New Text Widget to Hold Your Social Networking Icons

Under “Appearance” on the left menu in WordPress, click “Widgets.”

Next find the “Text” Widget, grab it and drag it into your side bar where you want the social networking links to show.

This is where you’ll be adding your HTML code for your profile links and images.  Give your widget a title if you’d like, and then you’ll add your code, like this:

IMPORTANT NOTE!!  These quotes are straight quotes, not curly (fancy) quotes.  If you copy and paste they may try to turn themselves into fancy ones.  If you get an error when you try to add this code, that’s probably why.  You can also try this same code but remove all of the quotes and it works.  (Thank you, Diana, for alerting me to this!)

<a href=”LINK”><img src=”IMAGE URL” border=”0″></a>

LINK is where you put the link to your profile, like:

<a href=”http://twitter.com/MichelleShaeffr”>

IMAGE URL is where you put the URL for the image you just uploaded (and copied it’s URL into note pad):

<img src=”https://michelleshaeffer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/twitter.png” border=”0″>

And the </a> at the end is important, it says to end the link after that image.

So your code will look something like this (below).  Click the “Save” button to save your code.

Now you’ll have a sidebar widget on your website something like this:

You might want to adjust the sizing/spacing of your icons.  To do that you can add this snippet into your image code:

<img src=”https://michelleshaeffer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/twitter.png” border=”0″ width=”XXX” hspace=”XXX”>

In width=”XXX” you can tell it how wide to make the image.

In hspace=”XXX” you can tell it how many pixels of padding to put around the image.

Also, if you want to center your images, just add <center> at the very beginning of all your code, and then </center> at the very end of all your code.

For example:

And your final images will look something like this:

That’s it!  :)

    I really like the screen shots and arrows. I learn so much better seeing how things actually look. And the little hints about making things larger or centering them seem so simple when you point to the exact place to put the code. This is great!

      I find it easier when I can see something, too. Sometimes written directions just don’t have the detail to be easy to follow.

    YAY Michelle — Lately when I’m doing copywriting and marketing consulting for my clients these days I often put up a WordPress site for them too.
    I was pulling my hair out for an EASY way to do this –with icons I like — and to explain to my clients how to do it too, without a special plugin.

    Thanks!!

The images that I’m using are in .png format and when I upload the widget to my side bar the only thing I’m getting is the actual title of the widget that says “connect with me”. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

        Yes, I keep trying to decide if I am going to add my blog to my business site, but can’t decide if that would be prudent or not…I am a therapist , and my blog is about all things Psychological. It looks as though your blog is a part of your business website, is this correct? Also, have you gotten any conversions? I keep hearing “in this economy BLOG BLOG BLOG” but I have yet to chat with a shrink that blogs and actually get’s conversions – ie booked appointments – from it. I don’t know so if you have time, throw me a quickie thought? Keep them separate or through it on my WP site!

    1) The widget icons are displaying as little blue question marks on my site. Why is this?

    2) The links are not working. When I pressed them on my website, I noticed the links were infused with my webpage, even though I didn’t do it myself. For example, instead of twitter.com/tilly, it was http://www.personalwebsite/twitter.com/tilly and clearly nothing worked.

    What am I doing wrong?

      Hi Chantilly,

      If they show as a ? then usually it means the browser can’t find the image. So double check that image URL. :)

      For the links, make sure you’ve got the http:// at the beginning of them, and that will fix them trying to load at the end of your website’s domain.

      Could be a couple of things. Without seeing the site I’m not sure (chantillychanel.com takes me to a login page). But if you reduced by changing the height and width in the html code, that could make them fuzzy. You may want to try using pixlr.com or similar to make them the exact size you want so you don’t have to adjust in the code.

    Thanks for all your help Michelle! I realized that by sizing the icons repeatedly, I was “stretching” them out. At this point, I’m trying to space my icons, so that they are close together in one single horizontal row, but I am unable too. I tried the links you provided, but nothing is working. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong at all.

    May I just say I love you right now? I would not have been able to add social networking icons to my blog without your thorough explanation of this really complicated process (at least for half-baked pseudo-“techies” like me). Thank you lots!

    Hi Michelle,

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! Most of the tutorials I’ve found that try to take me through this have me uploading the icons directly to my cpanel, which I have no problem with, but I could never find a full URL for them once they were uploaded. I managed to get my icons uploaded to my blog (still a work in progress at the moment), but no matter what icon I click on, they all take me to my twitter account which is the fist icon in the row. I’ve made sure that all the URL’s behind the icons are the correct pages (ie: facebook, etc). I removed the twitter icon from the beginning of the icon row and put facebook as the first icon, and then they all routed to facebook. Do you know why this is?? What have I done wrong? I can’t see anything wrong in the coding. HELP!

    Thanks!

      Look for the and make sure it’s there after each of the images. That tells the link when to “end” so without it they’d all link to the same web address. Also, make sure the quotes around each image and link are on both sides. If somewhere is missing it’s quote that’ll cause weirdness, too.

        Thanks so much for your reply. I’m not sure what you mean by “Look for the and …”. Not sure if this will work or not, but I think everything is correct – can you spot anything wrong?

        I have resized the images in the edit portion of the media section where I uploaded them. Would that make a difference?

          Looks like the link text didn’t work. I’ll put in some { } around my links and hopefully that will help them from disappearing here

            LOL I forgot the comments remove all code as a security measure. If you shoot me an email through my contact form we can connect that way and I can try to help more.

    Hi Michelle
    Such in depth info thanks. I have been using Facebook for a while to aid my site. Hadn’t really had much time to do much with it but have noticed that the buttons I have put on my site have gone up slowly now just have to utilise them more I presume it is like people doing the back linking for you every time they click on one of your icons that you put. On your site.

    Great info lee

    Hi Michelle! I just found your site and I am so glad. So much great information. I can’t wait to give this a try. I am technologically challenged but this seems pretty clear and easy.

    I have a question, is there a way to add a hover effect? Also, how do I make it so that it opens a new window when they click on an icon? I don’t want them to leave my site.

    Best,

    Araceli

  • It might surprise you to learn that there is a demand for this kind of content considering how many free nude images are available online. However, selling nude photos online is major business, whether it's because clients prefer the idea that something was made specifically for them, or because they connect with a particular model, or even because they want to help someone whose images they enjoy financially. Some internet models estimate that selling nudes can bring in up to $1,000 per month. The most well-known website for selling nudes is OnlyFans, although there are other sites as well. You could also use a website like Twitter to advertise independently, or you could open a private Snapchat account and sell nudes for money.
