So I am new to web development and I am trying to link font awesome icons to my social profiles but am unsure of how to do that. I tried using an a href tag but it made all of the icons take me to one site instead of the one I wanted. Here is the code:

 <i class="fa fa-dribbble fa-4x"></i>
 <i class="fa fa-behance-square fa-4x"></i>
 <i class="fa fa-linkedin-square fa-4x"></i>
 <i class="fa fa-twitter-square fa-4x"></i>
 <i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-4x"></i>

I'd like for each of these icons to go to their respective profiles. Any suggestions?

You can wrap those elements in anchor tag

like this 

<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-dribbble fa-4x"></i></a>
<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-behance-square fa-4x"></i></a>
<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-linkedin-square fa-4x"></i></a>
<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-twitter-square fa-4x"></i></a>
<a href="your link here"> <i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-4x"></i></a>

Note: Replace href with your desired link.
