I can see that the icons used in the pages come from font awesome but I'm not sure how to add something new like YouTube. I was particularly looking at adding it to the project links.

Thanks

Hi! These are using font awesome icons, where you have to find the free font awesome icon you want first, like: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=youtube&m=free

Then specify the icon you want minus the fa- prefix (youtube) and the brand pack (here, fab for font awesome brands). Here is an example:

So for you, you'd want:

links:
- icon: youtube
  icon_pack: fab
  name: website
  url: https://bakeoff.netlify.com/

I'm realizing I documented it for the social icons, but not for talks or projects 🙈 https://github.com/hugo-apero/hugo-apero/blob/2c923ad40eb462a607b7a7cbdbe22f3da3e1a710/exampleSite/config.toml#L79-L83

Does that help?

That's resolved it - many thanks! The one character change between icon-packs threw me so I'd completely missed there was fab and fas and far! Thanks for updating the config.toml, that's going to be really helpful.
