         <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"> 
      </a>

You should add the following code into your footer, to get your twitter and facebook links. The first part (a href) creates the links, the second part sets the path to the facebook&twitter wrap images, the third is the alt text, which is a short description of these images.

<a href="http://www.twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"></a> 
<a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"></a>
