Manage and display your social network profile links using a custom navigation menu.

== Description ==

This Plugin adds a custom Widget that allows you to add a list of social network profile links to any Theme, using a custom navigation menu. Using this 
method, you will keep your social profile links portable from Theme to Theme instead of having to re-enter them as Theme options each time you switch Themes.

1. From your Admin UI (Dashboard), use the menu to select Plugins -> Add New

4. Click the 'Install' button

Activiation and Use

1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

3. Add <strong>custom links</strong> to your "Social" menu, under the "Links" metabox, one for each social network profile you wish to include.
4. Save the menu, and assign it to the "Social Profile Links" Theme Location.
5. Go to Appearance -> Widgets, and add the "cbnet Social Profile Links" Widget to one of the Theme's dynamic sidebars
