wendyyonng asked: hi , nice to meet you. How to add the social media icon ?

I customized the HTML:

<a href=”(insert your twitter link here)”><img src=”http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmzu2a7bgh1qahwi2.png”></a>
<a href=”(insert your Facebook link here)”><img src=”http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmzu25RDmS1qahwi2.png”></a>
<a href=”mailto:(insert email address here)”><img src=”http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmzu1tUQW21qahwi2.png”></a>

The social media icons are free, and I downloaded them from Function App.

Packt Celebrates its 50th Oracle Book

Throughout July Packt Publishing will be celebrating the release of its 50th Oracle book - cementing its reputation as one of the leading publishers in Oracle books.

To mark this milestone Packt is offering the following discounts:

·         20% off all Oracle print books

·         30% off all Oracle eBooks

Packt first started publishing Oracle books in 2006, and has since published best-sellers such as Getting Started With Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 – A Hands-On Tutorial, Oracle Coherence 3.5 and Oracle Fusion Middleware Patterns.  And with more than 20 exciting new Oracle titles scheduled for 2011 this current success is only set to increase.

Packt owes much of its success to its print-on-demand mantra which not only allows it to produce books on specialist areas, but enables a quick response to new developments in technology – which was recently demonstrated with Packt publishing the first ever book on GoldenGate, the Oracle GoldenGate 11g Implementer’s guide.

Packt’s entire range of Oracle books is also available via PacktLib, Packt’s Online Library, and as part of Packt’s celebrations it’s offering you the chance to win a year’s subscription to PacktLib worth $220 click here for details: http://www.packtpub.com/article/50th-oracle-book-offer
