    i got it! i posted up some instructions.

    I am pretty savvy yet your instructions were difficult. I did a small rendition of my own. Maybe you could upload them, or edit them

    In order to add custom icons / other networking services aside form the ones i supplied follow these steps very carefully.

    1. resize the icon you wish to use into 2 dimensions. 32×32 and 20×20. make sure to save it as a .png

    2. create a folder, if one wasn’t created already in the wp-content folder on your web server named “social-slider-2”

    the directory structure should be /blogname/wp-content/social-slider-2/

    3. on social slider options page where it gives you directions on how to “add new site” it lists a string of characters like this “_1301511554-20.png.” copy
    only the _1301511554 and rename the images you just copied to your file server adding the “-20 and -32” on each of the two images, depending on which is the 20×20 and 32×32.

    What is key to understand here is everytime you refresh your options page that string of number changes so its important you are aware of the numbers and what corresponds to what on your file server.

    4. Once you have named the images the string of numbers, you go to “Name of site dialog box” and input the “_1301511554″ (minus the ” ” and -20/-34″

    5. Lastly you can now rename the service above where all the other icons / services are and then repeat.

    question regarding adding new images / networks to menu.

    directions say to place image files “wp-content/social-slider-2/ ” though there is no folder called socialslier2 in wp-content, does he mean wp-content/plugins/social-slider-2?

    secondly do i not place the images in the icons folder? within wp-content/plugins/social-slider-2? if someone could clarify the exact place to put them ide appreciate it. lastly if i name the site “ustream” is this the format for naming image. ustream_1301499480-20.png ?

    thanks

    would these errors be obvious to see? if i find the img embed code would it just be there saying ERROR? i feel the images are fine, i dont see much that would make me think otherwise.
