1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Q. Why doesn’t the link in the widget go directly to my profile on [insert social network here]? A. Some of the networks don’t have a full profile link in the hCard or XRD at the moment (or I can’t find it). This might change in the future.
