Hi. How do i change the settings, so that if i push one of the social icons a new page opens with my facebook profile?

Right now, if i push the social-icon the browser changes to facebook. So if i would like to go back to my webpage i have to paste the URL or use the go back function.

add the target attribute to the a element with a value of _blank so basically it will look something like this:

<a href="http://facebook.com/yourpage" target="_blank">Your Icon Here</a>
