Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to create Social Media Icons with CSS Glowing Effect. Previously I have shared Social Media Icons with Hover Animation using only HTML and CSS, now it’s time to create a Social Media Button with Glowing Effect.
The Social Media Widget is a simple widget that allows users to insert their social networks and connections profile URLs and other subscription options to show an icon to that social media site and more that open up in a separate browser window.
At first, these icons are in the initial stage where there is no glow effect. But when you hover on it, the specific hovered icon starts to glow. In the image, there is 2 Social Media Widget List with the same icons but which different glow colors. In the first widget, there are gold color glowing effects and in the second widget, there are default logo color glowing effects.
