Add icons to site

Hi, how do I use icons from sites like The Noun Project and Font Awesome on my webiste? I know how to download them but how do I locate where the icons are stored in the CSS folder and use the downloaded one? Im editing from a template so I have to use the same icon name, just save over it...I'm using sublime text.

Thanks Brady

You just have to add the provided CSS file to your html and include those icons with either a <span> or <i> tag using the given class names for the desired icon. If you are using the downloaded version, you will usually get a CSS file and some folder with font files inside them. Just leave them as they are and it should work. Alternatively, you can use the CDN version and you won't get confused with the additional folder. :-)

Class names for icons can be found in the docs.

Here is an example if you want to add the GitHub icon with Font Awesome:

<i class="fa fa-github" aria-hidden="true"></i>
