If you stop by every once in a while , you may have noticed that I've added a bit of color to the site just to brighten things up. For some reason I'm in a cyan tangerine mood these days. It seems to fit things better than grey and rust.
You might also see a few changes to the sidebar... there's a new thing that people are doing on their blogs: putting little coordinated sets of images that link to their social media sites. Adding these icons totally cleaned up my sidebar and decluttered, I recommend it highly.
When I went to find a nice set of icons, I found that a lot of the glossy, super 3d styles were going to overpower my simple new look. So I made this set of icons that are reasonably understated. Keeping the colored icons on the grey background creates a neutral buffer between any brand colors and background colors to limit the clash factor as well.

I hope these fit your needs, I don't intend to make more in this style unless my needs change, but feel free to write in with suggestions. I may make more sets in the future.
Ok, so how to use these...
Upload these images to a host site, they will then have a URL for you to copy.
Write out the code below , but put the image URL where the purple is and copy and paste a link to your site where the green is. There should be '' marks around both.
This should get you started. If it gives you trouble, leave a comment and we can work on getting it done.

Thanks a lot, I'll definitely look into doing this.
ReplyDeleteIt may be a fad, but it is so great not to have that jumble of affiliated content in the sidebar.
