 * The WAVE accessibility test by WebAim flagged the code for Instagram as a link
   that is empty. What can be added to provide content for this link? Does it need
   to be hidden? Here is the flagged code.
 *     ```
       <li class="heateorSssSharingRound">
       <i style="width:37px;height:37px;border-radius:999px;" alt="Instagram" title="Instagram" class="heateorSssSharing heateorSssInstagramBackground">
       Empty link
       <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stc_wdcb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">
       <ss style="display:block;border-radius:999px;" class="heateorSssSharingSvg heateorSssInstagramSvg">
       </a>
       </i>
       ```
