    Hi there!

    You’ve got a good eye. That footer in the screenshot I just realize is from the self-hosted version of the theme and is using a different plugin than was is available on WordPress.com.
    However, I can help you recreate it! It won’t sit right under your IG images properly until you’ve added more images to your account though.

    Here’s what to do:

    1. Add a “Custom HTML” widget before the “Follow Button” widget in your dashboard.
    2. Add the following HTML to that new widget:

    Follow me

    3. Add the following CSS to your Customize > CSS menu: 

    
/* Custom IG Follow button */
.ig-follow-button{
  text-align: center;
}

.ig-follow-button a {
  background: #5280a5;
  color: #fff;
  border-radius: 3px;
  padding: 10px 20px;
}

.ig-follow-button a:before{
  content: '\f16d';
  font-family: "FontAwesome";
  speak: none;
  line-height: 1;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
  font-size: 16px;
  padding-right: 5px;
}

    Let me know if that worked for you!
