 * I see an image that says “Share your recipes” and it currently links to: [https://www.instagram.com/sewlicioushomedecor/](https://www.instagram.com/sewlicioushomedecor/)
 * Have you solved this?

 * The image links to Instagram but I want the @sewlicioushomedecor text to be a
   hyperlink.

 * An image typically only has one link wrapped around it using the “a href” html
   tag. To accomplish what you want would require some advanced HTML/CSS skills 
   such as placing a transparent div tag above the image itself that matches the
   size of the text you want to be linked and then positioning it perfectly which
   would be difficult since the image size changes based on the width of the device
   browse.
 * I would recommend simply placing a link under the image such as “Visit me on 
   Instagram” which links to your Instagram profile or some other simple method.
 * The question you asked is not a WordPress related question but an HTML/CSS question.
   You may find more or better help over at StackOverflow.
 * Good luck.
