This widget contains beautiful and charming social media icons which are in grey shade and whenever someone hovers over them, they will change their color. This widget is used on many blogs and websites to grow their social media presence. It uses simple CSS to create the effect but this time we also use a sprite instead of individual images.This makes the flip smooth and adds less load time to your blog.I have tutorials for adding them to your sidebar on both Wordpress and Blogger but you could add them to your blog footer or even in a menu.
The icons are for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Rss Feed, Pinterest, Skype, Vimeo, Dribbble, Flickr, LinkedIn and Youtube.
