Want to make Font Awesome icons clickable

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="your link here" with your desired link e.g. href="https://www.stackoverflow.com".

If you don't want it to add it to a link, you can just enclose it within a span and that would work.

<span id='clickableAwesomeFont'><i class="fa fa-behance-square fa-4x"></span>

in your css, then you can:

#clickableAwesomeFont {
     cursor: pointer
}

Then in java script, you can just add a click handler.

In cases where it's actually not a link, I think this is much cleaner and using a link would be changing its semantics and abusing its meaning.

Using bootstrap with font awesome.

<a class="btn btn-large btn-primary logout" href="#">
        <i class="fa fa-sign-out" aria-hidden="true">Logout</i>
</a>

I found this worked best for my usecase:

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