How To Put Facebook,Twitter,YouTube,Flickr Icon on Blog?

As my previous post about cute facebook and twitter icon, now I will give a tutorial how to put this cute facebook and twitter icon on your blog. Usually we put icons on sidebar.

Facebook and Twitter icon linked to facebook and twitter account. It will help your reader to add your facebook account and to follow your twitter account. I will use cute facebook and twitter icon from Pigtails.com

It's simply to put social media icon on your blog. Copy this code below, then go to your dashboard. Go to Design>Page Element, add HTML gadget, and paste the code. If you're using Wordpress or Typepad blogging platform, it is the same way, copy HTML code and paste to your sidebar widget.

Dont forget to change the account link, for example , http://www.facebook.com/username , change to your own account name.





























Download Pigtails Cute Social Network Icons

Today I'm looking for a cute social network icon, it's including facebook icon, twitter icon, blogger icon, youtube icon. I'm little bit bored with an ordinary "serious" socmed icon. Actually I have ever created birdy twitter icon too, but have no time to create a new one :( I wish I can do it soon.

Fortunately, I found this cute social network icon from Pigtails.com. They are so cute. A little girl characters with pigtail on her hair. You can download it directly from the designer's site here.
