  hi there,
  You capture an image of a social networking icon and upload it and link it to your profile page on that specific social media site. Then you display the code in your sidebar in a text widget.

  I checked http://londonlovess.wordpress.com/ and I see that you’ve added a few icons to your sidebar, but they’re not linked yet.

  Let’s walk through the steps for linking the first one.

  First, get your instagram link.

  Then go to Appearance > Widgets in your blog dashboard and click on the arrow to the right of the first image widget to see the widget settings.

  At the bottom of the image widget settings, you will see a field labeled “Link URL.” Put your instagram link there and click Save.

  I checked http://londonlovess.wordpress.com/ again and I found that the Instagram image has been linked. You should be able to do the same thing with the Twitter widget.

  Hopefully you’re on the right track now! Feel free to reply back here if you still need help.
