First, I have to say thank you to those of you who have volunteered to guest post for me! I really REALLLLLY appreciate it and I'm honored that so many of you would like to post here - that's awesome! Hopefully some posts will start appearing here soon... my goal is to have 1 or 2 guest posts each week for the next 4 to 6 weeks while I get this dissertation done (ugh). If you haven't talked to me yet, but would still want to guest post, just let me know - comment (and make sure you have an email address with your comment) or email me at

While I've been working on that schedule and fun stuff, I made some new social media icons for the blog. Basically I needed a break from writing and driving myself crazy so I had some fun with clip art and icons and made these little buttons...
Then I made this little guide to clarify what they're all for since I included some lesser-known/less-often-used links as icons!
What do you guys think? I'm kind of loving them and the fact that I just went with all the original fun colors and didn't try to make them monochromatic...
Those look terrific. I love how they are very scientific looking.
ReplyDeleteWow I am very impressed that a) you can make these buttons, and b) they are so creative! Love them Mel!
ReplyDeleteSUPER cute! I agree... so impressed you can make these and they are so creative!
ReplyDeleteAwesome buttons! Also, I am interested in being a guest blogger if you still have some spots. I hope your PhD work is going well!

These are adorable Mel. I tagged you in a little blog game over on my blog, I know you're busy so don't feel obligated to play along!

Love the icons! What did you use to make them? (BTW, this is precisely the kind of project I do to get my mind off of other things!) LOVE IT! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! these are cute! great job with them!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't track you down, Kristina, but if you come back and check this out, I used GIMP (a free Photoshop-like alternative app) and some clip art that I'd gotten from an Etsy shop (for $2!). Plus, I searched for some free downloadable social media icons to get some of the logos. You can also get some logos from the sites themselves - Pinterest has the red "P" available on their site under "Goodies." Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThat totally helps. Thank you! (I like how I am just going back to researching how to do this --- four months later. LOL.) Thank you again.
DeleteLove these buttons! So creative and original!
