How To Add Social Media Icon To Your Blogger Account

Hi to all my Readers!!! Hope your doing pretty well..

Today  I'll share with you my experience as a newbie blogger. Designing a blog templates is easy cause the blogger website are so helpful to give all the choices already BUT the tricky part is for you to incorporate your social media pages to your blog to gain more followers and subscriber, Right? Anyway, I spent like almost whole day just to search for a great video tutorial to help me put my icons on my blog (not so easy huh..) 

So yesterday I finally find the most helpful video of all in youtube  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb94xCaWsnk, thanks to Ms. Karen Creftor. I just follow what she said on that video: 

Step 1: a. I access my blog go to layout, then on the right-side bar 1, I click the add a gadget.

  b. After that I click the add a gadget then it will open a new window of all the gadget you'd like to add, you have a choices to do the basic (where blogger made it convenient to all of us), then more gadget from third party and you can also add your own. So we will go to basic then choose the HTML/Javascript, then add it to your layout. Then it will open again another window to configure it. In the title just leave it blank, then in the content this is the code that you will follow, just copy/paste it for how many social media site  you want to incorporate in your blog, for me I want 5 so I paste this codes 5 times

<a href="LINK">

<img src="IMG LOCATION LINK" />

</a>

Step 2: a. At this point you need all the URLS from all your social media sites. And paste it at the first link of the code.

ex: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/emmelyn27">

<img src="IMG LOCATION LINK" />

</a>

just continue pasting it on how many social media you want.

Step 3: This is the difficult part cause this pertains to the image design you want, and I can only give you some of the icon I saw in pinterest that works. This is the blog website of the one I use http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2013/04/free-pink-social-media-icons.html, and I also read that she can also make an icon on her etsy account, so on this blog she has 12 free different icon you just click the social media you like then copy the URLS and paste it on the second quotation mark in the code, and same thing you will do on the other sites

ex: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/emmelyn27">

<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQY6WzPgCyTRL9_PKnTwl5Ov9R11xcJRoT1LAMwHJoMO_XR0IFnvreCb16-NhYKwv8yuE0zhXQUwwwz2rFP2-9cNFQdV0nrx4KKwA_qP7FTu1X02uqOP3yCRnSPq_FhVpYVAhwpu_kF_0/s1600/Facebook+Social+Media+Icons.png" />

</a>

Step 4: After your done editing the code, just click save, then you can preview it or save arrangement to your blog and you can view your blog.

So that's it, I hope this blog will be helpful for a newbie blogger like me. Hit subscribe if you like. Leave a comment for any suggestion that you want me to blog next time.
