First you need to download the social icons from website. Make sure icons are free.

I created following steps to add the icons to wordpress site for non developers.

1. Upload the icon image(s) to your media library.

2. Add a “Text” widget to your sidebar and insert code similar to the following:

<a href=”http://twitter.com/wordpressapi”><img src=”http://wordpressapi.com/files/twitter_48x48.png”  /></a>
<a href=”http://www.facebook.com/wordpressapi”><img src=”http://wordpressapi.com/files/facebook_48x48.png” /></a>
<a href=”mailto:support@wordpressapi.com”><img src=”http://www.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/email_48x48.png” /></a>
<a href=”http://wordpressapi.com/feed/”><img src=”http://wordpressapi.com/files/rss_48x48.png” /></a>

Then just change the URLs so that they point to your icons and links. As you can see,

I have four icons in my sidebar (twitter, facebook, email, and rss).
