It worked! Simple as can be, too! Thank you so much for the help!

One slight issue is the text box with the icons overlaps the Search box but I can live with that until I figure out how to resize the box.

Awesome!

  • You create a draft post that you will later delete.
  • You upload the images (social networking icons) into the draft post and link each one to your associated profile page on each social network.
  • You arrange the icons to your liking on a single in in the draft post.
  • You switch to the Text HTML editor and copy the code in the draft post.
  • You open a text widget in a new tab and paste the code into it.
  • Click "save" and "close" in the text widget.
  • Save the draft post in case you need it.
  • View the blog sidebar and if the appearance is fine and links work then you can delete the draft post.

    P.S. It's hard to answer your because we do not have the code for the buttons you wish to place side by side.

    I'm not sure I understand. If I upload the icon image, then add the link to my particular page, what additional code is necessary?

    Timethief, how did you align the buttons horizontally on your blog? I'm familiar with how to add text/image to a widget, but not very CSS savvy. I can't figure out how you would align them!

    Some themes have social media buttons built in to the design, usually across the header. The theme search filter should be able to help you find them.

    re: 404 front page error message
    By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.
