Warning
I've provided some images to use for your social links in the images
folder, you must also host these images on a hosting service along with your profile picture.
As mentioned above, the same goes with your avatar/profile picture and thumbnail -- which can be pointed to your GitHub profile (or any properly hosted image) if you'd like; I would suggest hosting them on your own though.
