  • Type the Anchor text that you require , select it with your mouse and then click the link button , type the URL and your done. Of course there are different ways depending on what format you are working in , BB code , HTML or the editor but in simple terms the above will do it

    Thanks Riverwire – I’d figured out how to do that but what you’re referring to is creating a link from one page to another page. What I was asking about is how to create a link WITHIN a page or post. ie from a word near the top of a page to a specific spot further down the page.

    To create an anchor link go to html editing and where you want to link to type the following code

    <a name="top"></a>

    You can change top for anything, just make sure that this is positioned where you want to jump to.

    then you need to create a link, so in my above example I’m linking to the top of the page, so I’ll place the link at the bottom of the page like this:

    <a href="#top">Back to top</a>

    notice the “#” make sure that you always include that in the link, but not in the a name!

    Hope this helps
