 * I just installed this plugin and when added to the footer widget – the icons 
   look great! but a horizontal line appears above and below. I would like the icons
   closer to the verbiage and links on the bottom of our home page. Any suggestions
   on how to get rid of the space and horizontal lines around this plugin / widget?
   I could not find it in the code. (Also I am pretty new at WordPress). Any help
   or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

 * The line above is a horizontal rule (`<hr>`) in your source.
 * The CSS in your theme creating the bottom line is
 *     ```
       aside.widget {
       padding-bottom: 50px;
       margin-right: 10px;
       border-bottom: 1px solid #898989;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you. I was able to remove the bottom line. Is there any way to eliminate
   the space between the social icons and the links on the footer?
