Take a look at mine. http://fireandicebookreviews.blogspot...
What kind of widgets do you want?

Wow your blog is really cool :) I have added some of my own but I think I like yours better... If you don't mind showing me that would be a great help!
These are the ones I have on my blog at the moment: http://www.jennieelouisee.blogspot.co...
I'm not sure what other widgets to add... Any tips for my blog so far?


You don't have to know what all of that means. Just find the social media icon that you like, and use a image hosting site like Photobucket, and copy the HTML code they give you once you upload your icon.
The only thing you will have to do is adjust your image size which is pretty easy, and add you Twitter URL.
Example.
Twitter URL: https://twitter.com/ms_jackie92
Once you have your URL you just paste it into you HTML code.
<*a href='♥https://twitter.com/ms_jackie92' target='_blank♥'*>
<*img alt='Twitter' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oMNqv0rmwf8...' title='Twitter'/><*/a><
Where I put the two ♥ is where you paste in your link to your Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, etc. Just remove the stars and the hearts.
Once you have that done, go to your blog, and go to Layout. Add a Gadget From the Gadget list, select HTML/ Java Script. Once the boks comes up, paste in you HTML code.
Did that help? It can be a little confusing.

Once I've found the icon I like what does Photobucket do? How do I add the html code to the icon and what do you use to resize the image?
Sorry I'm new to all this stuff so please bear with me...

Add the width like you see below
Example: <*img src="http://www.goodreads.com/image..." width="40" height="100*"

That would be a tremendous help, Thank you so much! I just need to create icons for tumblr and instagram!



I don't really want to create an account on photobucket - is there any other site I could use like PicMonkey?
I found this website when I was looking for a tumblr image and I was wondering if I could just use the icons off here? http://www.softicons.com/
This might not be anything remotely similar to what I'm looking for but I'm just wondering...

I wouldn't mind your facebook, twitter, good reads,email and google plus icons (Sorry I don't mean to take all your icons)
Then I can just create my own tumblr and instagram icons :)

I don't real..."
I don't know how you could get the HTML. You could send me the images, and I could get the HTML from photobucket for you?

How would you like me to send you the images?

Facebook: <*a href='https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fire-a... alt='Facebook' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xc6DJqeeX8A...' title='Facebook'/><*/a>
Google+: <*a href='https://plus.google.com/1107839087031... alt='Google Plus' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M-9pAHcD8zQ...' title='Google Plus'/><*/a>
Email: <*a href='mailto:' target='_blank'><*img alt='Email' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21Q-lMVSgS0...' title='Email'/><*/a>
Goodreads: <*a href='https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...

Just remove the *

Facebook:
Google+:
Email:
Goodreads:
Just remove the *"
So, just to check, where do I put these links and in what HTML code do they go into? Or do I go onto my blogger and add a new gadget and just put this code alone?

Example: <*a href='♥https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fire-a... alt='Facebook♥' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xc6DJqeeX8A...' title='Facebook'/><*/a>
Your links goes in between the two hearts.


Instagram: https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modu...
I tried pasting the google plus icon link but nothing happened... it managed to save but the icon didn't appear with my other icons so I'm not sure I've done it correctly...


I have some at the moment and I think they'll be alright for now:) Thank you for all your help though! Especially on how to inert my own link in the HTML code aha

Links bar, Widgets, Social networking links etc
I'm not sure how to do this so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Here is my blog so far - any tips/advice would be so helpful!
