Description

By simply dragging this widget into your sidebar or any widgetized area, you can easily place icon links to your various social profiles like twitter, facebook, flickr, etc.

Installation

Upload the entire social-profiles-widget folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
In your Widgets menu, simply drag the widget labeled “Social Profiles” into a widgetized Area.
Configure the widget by choosing a title, icon size, and the URLs to your various social profiles.

FAQ

The icons are a bit crowded in my sidebar. How do I give them breathing room?

Open your theme’s style.css file, and insert this code (somewhere near the bottom of the file).

.social-profiles img {
padding-right: 10px;
}

You can adjust that code to suite your needs, depending on your situation.
