When I first started to blog, I used pre-made social media buttons that I found online and the Social Media Plugin Widget that one could download on WordPress.
Pre-Made Social Media Icons
Now there was nothing wrong with these buttons or this method, but as I got a bit more experience, I learned that I could use social media buttons that were closer in color to the colors that I had for my blog.
But then I learned a thing or two about color coding to match the exact color I wanted and even Photoshop to shape and resize them, too.
And even found out how to code social media buttons to have a cool hover effect, as well.
So, for instance if you take a look at J9 Designs’ website you will see that my Social Media Buttons match the pink color perfectly that runs through my whole blog.

And then if you were to hover over one of my social media icons, like Facebook for instance, you will see the exact grey color that is the highlight grey color match for J9 Designs, also.

If you would like your very own social media buttons to match the colors of your blog perfectly with the hover option, I can custom create them for you, code them and install them on your blog.
This service is available for a set of 6 social media buttons for $30. For each additional social media button, please add $5.

Karen, I totally understand and remember the end of the summer with a teaching salary. And know all too well from the past what that was like. I even worked at a local camp for a few summers before I had Emma to bring in extra income. I would love to do these buttons for you and seriously you know I will do them whenever you are ready. Just message me and will help you!! 🙂
what a great idea…as always you never fail to amaze me…Lucky to be working with you for my blog…

Oh thanks so much Alexa and I love creating these buttons, because they really match right down to exact color of one's blog and are so fun to make!! 🙂
Love it, your so talented. I bought Photoshop last year and have gotten frustrated and tossed it aside…..one day. I think I need to go to a class….that goes beyond the tutorial. Have a great day.

Thank you so much Amy and I am slowly learning photoshop and the things you can do are so unlimited. My husband is a pro on this program and can only hope someday to be in his caliber, so I know the feeling well!!!
Nice!

Thanks so much Rhonda!!
I like the Hover option, and I like the colors. In fact, the whole look of the blog is nice, it's clean & business-like, but still soft and pretty.
My recent post Super Sunday Sync
Oh thanks so much for saying that Rosey and I used more of my design and creativity on Confessions, because this is a business more then not, but I still had to bring my style to it with the pink color, of course!! 🙂
This is one of those silly things that makes me nervous – I've been wanting to change mine for a while now, but some of the sites specify that you cannot mess with their logo. It's like monetizing – I know if I do it, something will go wrong and I'll have the IRS on my door stop. If I do this, I'll have the logo police after me. 😉
Chris, I have done so many of these and never had an issue and so many blogs have their own custom social media buttons. If you ever are interested, would be more then happy to work with you on this!! 🙂
