Today we have another great set of social icons to link to your social profiles with an awesome effect created with pure CSS.The icons have a delicious candy design that will grab the attention of your readers and are so easy to add to your blog.The icons can be added to your blog sidebar to let readers quickly follow you on your favorite social networks and we have icons for your Rss Feed, Email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube and Skype.
I have two seperate tutorials for WordPress and Blogger users with instructions to add your links and remove the icons you don’t want. I have added the no-follow tag to the icons as there is no need to pass link juice to social profiles and also set the target for the links to open in a new window.
The instructions are below but first let’s see the demo’s.
Here is a working example, hover over each icon to see the pop out effect :
