Is it possible to add Facebook and Twitter icons/links together with the RSS-feed/subscribe-icons?

see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=6606

What I want to do is to create a new Widget Area, that looks exactly like the default logo area (including the blog title & description, the search box and the RSS/Email icons). Except that I can choose my own link/images for RSS/Email and also Twitter and Facebook.

I've read in another thread that this is possible, but don't understand how to do it. The result Widget Area should be like heavyconnection.net.

I want to do all this using the GUI if possible. So that I can upgrade the theme in the future, without having to edit PHP-files. I've read about Widget Areas, but I'm not sure how to do this. Is it possible to copy the current logo area, make some modifications, and use it as a new Widget Area?
