Well, here I am doing another WordPress plugin review and this time it’s a cool feature which could bring something different to your site. I have written a post about how to have floating icons for Thesis theme, which is similar in a way.
The plugin today is called Cute Profiles by clickonf5.org. It’s a free WordPress Plugin which will bring all your Social Profiles at one location i.e. either left or right side of your blog pages in a well decent floating manner, saving your sidebar or footer space for ads or other important data and widgets.
WP Plugin Review - Cute Pofiles Example
Below are the details related to this plugin, by clicking on each tab you can see that particular detail as well.
Some of the important features:
- Choice for Themes and Sizes for the Icons – so select as per your blog theme.
- Fully customizable CSS
- No jQuery or any javascript library. Fully CSS based design and implementation. So no header load.
- Directly enter the URL of the profile page on the Cute Profiles settings page
- Setting to change the Profile links to dofollow or nofollow
- Currently 50 different Social Profiles covered, will definitely increase in the future.
- And the most important, we try to provide the best of our support!
Installation
This plugin is easy to install like other plug-ins of WordPress as you need to just follow the below mentioned steps:
- Copy Folder ‘cute-profiles’ from the downloaded and extracted file.
- Paste it in ‘wp-Content/plugins’ folder on your WordPress Installation
- Activate the plugin from Dashboard / Plugins window.
- Now Plugin is Activated, Go to the Usage section to see how to use Cute Profiles.
