how to add social image in footer

[webgirl20]

Hello,
How would you add a social media image in the footer, it would be located next to copyright.
Copyright 2016 l Privacy Policy l website by xxx l social media image

Tried the code below on localhost first but the linkedIn image didn't show.

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'sp_custom_footer' );
function sp_custom_footer() {
	?>
	<p>&copy; 2016 &middot; Privacy Policy &middot; website by xxx &middot; <a href="http://linkedin.com">
     <img src="<?php bloginfo("template_url") ?>/uploads/2016/03/linkedin24px.png" alt="LinkedIn" />
</a></p>
	<?php

thanks

I typically use the Genesis Simple Edits plugin to modify the footer in case changes need to be added later. It prevents the need to modify the theme.

You are missing the closing bracket for your function.

Your image likely isn't showing due to the bloginfo() function. Since you need the value for use in the php, you would want to use get_bloginfo('template_url'). You can also use get_stylesheet_directory_uri().
Additionally, since you are trying to reference an image located in the theme directory, you would not be referencing the uploads folder.

So if you are trying to reference an image stored in an image folder within your theme folder, it might look something like the following:

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'sp_custom_footer' );
function sp_custom_footer() {
	?>
	<p>&copy; 2016 &middot; Privacy Policy &middot; website by xxx &middot; <a href="http://linkedin.com">
       <img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/images/linkedin24px.png" alt="LinkedIn" />
       </a></p>
	<?php
	}
