Social icons are an easy way to link viewers of your site to other parts of your online presence, such as to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, and more. The complete list is below.

Setup

Everything here goes under [Params.social] in your site’s config.toml file.

Example (from Shadow53’s blog):

[Params.social]
    linkedin = "shadow53"
    github = "Shadow53"
    steam = "id/shad0w0710"

Full list of social links and how to link to them:
