Would it be possible to add social icons for more popular social media sites in general?

@digitalcraftsman Make a list of social sites that you want to have and I will make it happend.

It's possible to add social icons, yes, but no priority for 0.2.x, because I'm near to finishing 1.0.0 which gets rid of the social icons within the header bar. I will leave it open for a successor version of 1.0.0. Personally I think it's better to include them in the footer.

EDIT: however, you can take the icon.json file in the web font directory, upload it to icomoon and include the necessary social icons for your fork. I will review the request for 1.0.0 as soon as it is stable.

Hahahaha thank you, this is really awesome ;-)

Here are a list of icons that could be related to the documentation of a (software) project:

• GitLab
• BitBucket
• StackOverflow (e.g. to link questions with a tag)
• Slack (e.g. for a support chat)
• Email

Perhaps we could also add

• YouTube
• Vimeo
• Facebook
• Google Plus

But at the end it's up to @squidfunk who decides what he wants to support in his awesome theme

Maybe SVG something like this?

@digitalcraftsman Good list! I will prepare something for 1.0.x, so we can add all those icons in the footer. Already did Bitbucket and GitLab integration, the rest also sounds legit.

So I think the best idea would be to integrate this icon font I found:
http://www.socicon.com/

Seems to cover pretty everything. My idea would be to automatically integrate it, when there are any social links listed in the extra configuration, but leave it out otherwise to minimize the footprint.

Fixed in e08802a. The theme now uses http://www.socicon.com/ for social icons. The syntax in the mkdocs.yml is:

extra:
  social:
    - type: github
      link: https://github.com/squidfunk

The value specified in type is appended to the socicon class name.
