Can I also create 'Follow' links?

Permalink Browser Info Environment
First of all: thank you very much for this very good looking social media block! It's simple to use and it makes it very east to create 'share' buttons.
I also would like to create 'follow' buttons for Twitter and LinkedIn in the same style as the follow buttons. Is it there any way to do that using this block?

Hi hhockx,

To create a Twitter follow link, you can make a block view template to make a follow link instead of a link to the profile.

If you are trying to match the visual styling, that would require making new icons. To add the following count, this would involve working with the Twitter API and outside of the scope of what this block does.

Regarding LinkedIn follow links, I am not sure how the follow links are structured. The LinkedIn follow link generator requires a login (I am not a LinkedIn member).

Depending on your requirements, it might be easier to use the official widgets from each company and add them to your page using an HTML block.
