Hi

I don't think a plugin exists to do this. Not that I know of anyway. However, I rolled my own using the free html widget so you shouldn't have too many problems doing the same.

First of all head on over to [url=http://www.leeturner.org]my website[/url] and grab the images of the twitter and facebook icons. Upload them to your server in a location of your choice.

Now, add a Free HTML widget to your skin and add the following code to it:

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/YOURTWITTERNAME" title="YOUR NAME on Twitter"><img src="/YOUR/PATH/TO/IMAGE/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" title="Twitter" /></a>
&nbsp;
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/YOURFACEBOOKNAME" title="YOUR NAME on Facebook"><img src="/YOUR/PATH/TO/IMAGE/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" title="Facebook" /></a>

Obviously replacing the relevant bits with your details. I hope this will get you to where you want to be. Without knowing what skin you are using I can't be 100% sure but give it a go and see if it works.

Thank you for your feedback, Lee.

^^Since I am a total non-tech person, how do I go about this?

OK, all you need to do is log on to the back office and select the 'Blog Settings' link at the top of the screen. Then beneath that select the blog that you want to add the icons to and then beneath that click on the 'Widgets' tab.

There you will see a list of widgets that you currently have displayed and the containers (the different parts of your blog) that they are displayed in. On the right hand side of each of of the containers you will see the link 'Add Widget'. If you click that then a little window will pop up with all the widgets that you can add and I think the top one is the Free HTML widget. Click on it and it will be added to the container. If you then click on the settings for that widget you will see the place where you can enter the code I gave you before.

Hope that helps

Cheers
