  See the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
  Highlighted anchor text here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
  2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  3. Next, click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

  We also have an instagram widget you may be interested in.

  Make sure you are logged into Instagram when doing the widget set up.
  The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Navigate to > Dashboard > Appreance > Widgets

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

  The Instagram widget allows you to display your latest Instagram photos in your site’s sidebar and the guide for setting up the only one that will work on a wordpress.COM hosted blog is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/
  Also, note this support doc
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  Is your Instagram account public? Or is is private, and therefore, blocked when it comes to display of images in the widget on your blog? And, are you logged in when authorizing it?

  This particular widget needs to be authorized using the WP admin widget page rather than the customizer. If you go to Dashboard > Appearance> Widgets from the WP Admin dashboard and authorize the widget from there, you’ll have much better luck.
