CSS Icons
Icons can easily be added to your HTML page, by using an icon library.
How To Add Icons
The simplest way to add an icon to your HTML page, is with an icon library, such as Font Awesome.
Add the name of the specified icon class to any inline HTML element (like <i> or
<span>).
All the icons in the icon libraries below, are scalable vectors that can be customized with CSS (size, color, shadow, etc.)
