Writr theme- Newbie

When I am on my homepage freelancewritermn.com I have my widgits on the side. I don’t know how to set it up so that when I click on a widgit, it takes me where I want to go (like to the homepage or to the blogs.) I’m so new to this and have learned a lot but I don’t know the best way to set this up. Should I even have those widgits on the side?
In addition, I have a box that says, “help a gal out” with the social icons in it. I like the box, but again, don’t know how to just click on one of those icons and have it take me where I want to go.

Help a wordpress kindergartner?
