How to add social media buttons to wordpress sidebar

I created following steps to add the icons to wordpress site for non developers.

1. Upload the icon image(s) to your media library.

2. Add a “Text” widget to your sidebar and insert code similar to the following:

<a href="http://twitter.com/wordpressapi"><img src="http://images.purabtech.in/twitter_48x48.png" alt="" /></a><a href="facebook.com/wordpressapi"><img src="http://images.purabtech.in/facebook_48x48.png" alt="" /> </a>
<a href="mailto:support@purabtech.in/files/"><img src="http://www.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/email_48x48.png" /></a> 
<a href="http://images.purabtech.in/feed/"><img src="http://images.purabtech.in/rss_48x48.png" /></a> 
 

Then just change the URLs so that they point to your icons and links. As you can see,

I have four icons in my sidebar (twitter, facebook, email, and rss).
