Adding social icons to the Bulma Clean Theme footer

Published: Sep 3, 2024 by C.S. Rhymes

Version 1.1.0 of Bulma clean theme has been released. It has a small update that allows you to easily add social media links to the footer of your site.

Font Awesome update

It sounds like a small feature update, but I wanted to create a blog post about it as it required updating to Font Awesome v6 to get the latest social media icons.

When upgrading to v1.1.0 of the theme, please ensure you take a read through the changes in Font Awesome and see if your site is affected by any of the changes.

Font Awesome 6 - What’s changed?

To add social media links to the footer you need to add a social key to your _config.yml and add the relevant social network names with links to your profiles.

For example:

social:
  facebook: https://www.facebook.com/
  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/
  threads: https://www.threads.net/
  tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/
  x: https://www.x.com/
  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/

For more information take a look at the theme documentation.

I’ve only just started using TailwindCSS, (I know late to the party huh), and I wanted to create a custom toggle switch that looked a bit nicer than a standard checkbox. This blog post goes through some of the thought processes and the tools that Tailwindcss v4 has out of the box that you can make use of.
