Social Link Menu?

I am on Lynda watching wordpress tutorials to build my blog and I cant figure out how to add the little instagram logo that will link to my instagram account when a reader pushes it. Could someone please help? :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there @cmonhome,
If your theme offers custom menus you can use this support doc to learn how to add a social link menu.
If your theme does not offer custom menus, you’ll have to switch to one that does in order to add a social link menu.
I hope this fixes you up!

I recommend using the relevant support docs for your blog http://support.wordpress.com rather than using the online tutorials.
See:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/social-media-icons-widget/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-social-media-buttons-to-your-sidebar-or-footer/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/Unfortunately, your blog is private and I cannot see the theme you are using. Every theme has a detailed theme description set up page with detailed instructions and some themes include the icons your are asking about. Go to the front of your blog and scroll down to the footer sand click the theme name link to find it.

re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog
Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
I recommend using the step by step tutorial linked to the bottom of your Admin page at https://learn.wordpress.com
See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/
The only relevant support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.

https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
To gain search engine attention I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently. That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.
For more information on expediting search engine indexing of your site read > http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google

It’s okay! No worries. Is there any way we can discuss what happened the other day? I know this is not the place. You can contact me through my blog. I’d like to resolve the conflict we had.
Thanks!
