Adding Social Media Buttons to Your WordPress.com Website

I’m mixing directions from several different websites, but I have tried clearing it up as much as possible. Enjoy!

Adding Social Media Buttons to Your Website via HTML Code

Although some WordPress.com (and other website-building site) themes have a way to automatically customize social media, quite a few actually don’t. For my WordPress website, I used to just add the “Image” widget and link to my other accounts. But since you can’t line them up horizontally, that ended up with a long line of pictures down my sidebar. So instead, I mixed directions from different websites, played around, and came up with the following instructions for adding a horizontal row of Social Media icons linked to your accounts.

Changes to the Pins on the New Pinterest

24 Mar

You can find Changes to the Pinterest Account Tools Here.

This post will run through a few of the new changes established to the Pins themselves. I actually think this part is a lot more convenient than Pinterest’s old pin format. The new ones allow you to go straight to the website, see other pins from that site, etc.

The Pin Itself

The pin itself doesn’t actually look all that different. It still has the image, and if you click the image it will take you to the linked URL. Nonetheless, there are a couple changes to note.

1. The greatest change to the pin itself is that you can no longer open it up and edit your own pins here. The edit button no longer appears unless you are on the Boards or Pins main page on your account. Continue reading →
