How Do I ... Create Social Media Follow Icons
In order to make Follow Us icons and links, like in the One theme's global footer, use the following code snippet in an HTML component and change the URL links to match your pages. You can also delete sections of it for sites you do not have accounts with. All the CSS and assets to make this work are part of the global template in Ensemble.
Advanced Users: There are other icons available by changing the span class. Those icons can be viewed and their class displayed here: http://fontawesome.io/icons/
