31 Social Media and Bookmark Icon Sets
I wanted to add a custom widget to some of my favorite online social spots. This sent me on a search for social media and bookmark icon sets. There are a ton of free ones out there if you have the time to search for them. In the end these are my favorite 31 social media and bookmark icon sets. These can be used on either websites or blogs. Most of these are either .png, .jpg or .gif picture files so they can really be used anywhere you can place these types of file extensions.

Which set is your favorite?
Keep an eye out for my updated widget in the upper sidebar. Once completed I’ll put a copy of the code in the bottom of this post so you can see what the code looks like.
Update: Here is the code I used on each graphic to grab the image from my server, give them some hover text, when clicked it will open a new tab and take them to the recommended site.
<a href=”http://www.theurlyouaredirectingthemto.com” title=”add the text you would like to display when their mouse hovers over your graphic” target=”_blank”>
<img src=”http://www.theurlwhereyoustoredyourgraphic.gif” border=5></a>
If this seems too difficult you can also try one of these great plugins as they simplify the social networking widget process:
If I have missed any other great social media and bookmark icon sets, send me a link on Twitter and I’ll be sure to retweet and add yours to this list.

Awesome roundup of social icons!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the links to the social buttons. I get bored with my RSS and Twitter icons frequently. It’s a lot easier to change them than it is to change the whole blog design. I kind of liken it to painting your walls instead of buying a roomful of new furniture. I will definitely check these out.

I like to change little things occasionally myself. Keeps the readers guessing…but not confused. My favorite set is the Soul Visual icon set. You have to use a photo editor to select the size you want but they are nice. Enjoy!
Blessings,
Wendy
