 * Hi there,
 * This is a tough one, because in order to allow users to add their own styles 
   to the icons, the styles need to be printed in the footer instead of the header.
 * It’s simply a limitation of WordPress currently.
 * However, it’s not going to hurt your website or search engine rankings at all
   🙂
