  1. Thanks for bringing this up, I need your advice. Have a look at my blog, it has a custom template I downloaded and on the top left corner I also have these social icons, but when they clicked on, it takes users back to my home page and not to the respectable social networks. How can I change this? I'm sure it put's lots of readers off my blog when they click it and nothing happens.

    1. Hello Denzil,

      I checked your blog, you just need to change your social profiles links. Then your readers can catch you on social network.

      Go to Blogger Dashboard >> Template >> Edit HTML >> Click Anywhere In Your Template Editor and Find below code:

      class='feedlist'

      below this code you can change profile URL's..

      Thanks
