 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for the great theme, I’m very happy with it. That said, I have one question:
   I’d like to add some custom social icons, and I’m not sure where I should be 
   doing that. Looking back through the support forum, I see that most people have
   simply requested you add icons, so I suppose I could ask that… but I wonder if
   it’s possible instead to add a “add custom network” field, where one could upload
   an icon for networks you don’t have in the system?
 * Personally, I would like to add links to my Librarything and IMDB profiles, but
   I can imagine other people might also want to add Goodreads or other sites.
 * If implementing that is too much of a nightmare, then… is it possible to do it
   with a child theme, without breaking updates?
 * Thanks for whatever help or suggestions you can offer me.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-social-icons-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@gordsellar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gordsellar/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us!
    I will make sure to send your request to our
   development team to see if they can add those options or a custom network field
   in a future update. We do have the option to add your Goodreads username.
 * Please let me know if you have further questions!
 * All the best,
    Mihaela
