 * Hi,
    I’m really hoping someone can help here? I am desperate to get my social
   media follow-me buttons added and move on but, of the ones I’ve tried, they either
   skip annoyingly up the side, or don’t display anywhere at all? I built a pilot
   blog up a couple of months ago with no problem, but have hit a wall here. I’d
   ideally like them placed in either of the two positions here [http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj620/coinery/kfl_zpswfabxzme.jpg](http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj620/coinery/kfl_zpswfabxzme.jpg)
   but is that possible without understanding the workings of a child theme? My 
   site is here [https://karma-free-life.com](https://karma-free-life.com)
 * Goodness me, any help would be great!
    Best regards, Stuart

 * Just as a matter of EXTRA interest, any idea why the below message is being displayed
   when clicking on my above web link?

 * Could anyone advise a better place to post this, as I’m feeling pretty desperate
   for info. on this? It seems such a simple thing to be able to achieve, but I’m
   lost for how.
 * Would I be better off just looking for a theme that better matched my needs, 
   although I do like what I’ve done so far, and rather like the general layout 
   of twenty twelve.
 * Anyone?
 * Best regards,
    Stuart

 * OK, just in case anybody else comes here looking for the same information…
 * I can’t believe I messed up with this one.
 * What you do is look for a ‘Widget’ Social Media plugin. Once you’ve activated
   it you can go to your widget page and drag it across to your side bar.
    Soooooo
   simple!
 * Happy blogging peops!
    Blessings, Stuart
