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.
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.
Final Thought
I like the plugin and think it would help many out that need to share their social profiles with others. Are you using this plugin? Have you heard of it before? Would you use it now? Let me know what you think of it, your feedback is always welcomed.

This is awesome timing George I am only a few days from switching over to Thesis on like four of our blogs, just waiting for that baby to go on sale. Not feeling $260 for a theme regardless of how good it is, haha.
I can’t wait to use this plugin as well as so many of the other Thesis plugins you have written about, hopefully you dont mind me writing about Thesis too once and a while
