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 recently had to write a test for a React component that opened a new browser window. To open the new window I made use of window.open() in my code. This made the component easy to write, but I had to think a bit differently about how to write the test for this.

Why did I become a writer?

There has been a lot of discussion on Threads recently about becoming a writer, but don’t give up your day job. I have seen a lot of arguments from all sides, some people saying they became a successful full time writer, others saying they would never give up their job, then there are others who became writers full time then went back to another job. Writing has always been a hobby for me, but this discussion has made me think more about why I write.
