A simple social side block to be used with your favorite portal left or right block. Social colors appear on hover. Very cool and very eye catchy. I downloaded the icons from IcoMoon app at 28 pixels in height with #ffffff color. No sprite images are used here since i wanted to put together something quick, only .png images are used.

demo

I forked this from Google Play Store Menu - CodePen and grabbed the icons from IcoMoon App - Icon Font Generator

Open your theme's css/index.css and at the very end, add:

<div id="social">
  <ul>
    <li class="facebook"><span class="facebook-icon"></span><a href="#">Facebook</a></li>
