Let’s break down what each segment is in case you want to customize.
To change the website link, update the orange box.
If you want to swap out your own images, you need to replace the yellow highlighted section. Your images need to be hosted somewhere on the internet. If you don’t have a website yet, you can make a new broadcast email, add in your social media icon images, and then right click and select “copy image address”. I keep my own files hosted within an unlisted, private Squarespace page.
To change the size of the icon, update the blue-grey box.
