  2. Hi! Well, this is by far the most helpful site I have come across on the internet to help me make my blog more beautiful. This is simply amazing. And a question. Can you tell me how do you add the four functional cartoon-cum-cool icons at the bottom of your page? That would be great.
    :)
    And you're doing a good job. Thank you :D
    And do visit www.thehowlingwolves.blogspot.in and suggest any changes.
