Tips » Add icons, create links and improve the look of your network

One of the things that draws me into a website is how it looks. If it looks good then there is a higher chance that I will browse it for longer. It’s a simple fact that we are attracted to things that are aesthetically pleasing, often before we’ve even looked at the content.

It seems that to make your site look better, you don’t actually need to do much at all. Partly because people spend their whole working day creating beautiful things to give away to you for free and partly because we’ve spent some of our time looking around the interweb for said items.

So we’ve found the best sites to get icons for your own network. Use these icons to link to the various social media pages you may have set up around the web.

My top three icon sites are:

3) http://www.freeiconsweb.com/index.html

2) http://dryicons.com/free-icons/

1) http://www.freeiconsdownload.com/Free_Web_Icons.asp

Simply download the icons and add the images to your site using a rich text module.

Click the image you add and then choose the hyperlink button in the toolbar.

Add the URL of where the image should link to.

And that’s it. Your site should be taking on a rather tasty look.
