    I hope I am aksing this question correctly. I am currently running a poetry site at https://www.howlingnight.com. If you go to my Latest Poems Page and my Early Poetry, you will notice I have poems written. I am currently running on the Word Press Twenty Ten Theme. The question is can I have a hyperlink list on the right side bar of just those two pages of all the poems on that page. Example, I have a poem called Through Open Doors. I want that to be listed on the right side bar of just my Early poetry page and no where else. I was hoping if this can be done

    The issue is that it is not it’s own page. The name of the poem is “Sacrificial Blood” , but it is not on it’s own page. It is on my early poetry page, which can be seen here…Early Poetry. I have written it as a static page, not a blog page, so there is no URL for Sacrificial Blood, it is just plain text.

    OK. Then you need to add a ‘target’ for the poem name by adding an id to the p tag containing the title:

    <p id="Sacrificial_Blood" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sacrificial Blood</strong></p>

    Then, use a hyperlink like this:

    Ok, so I figured all of that out, and I thnk you for it. I will print this all out as reference, but I have one more question. Because this is a multiple poem page, so I created the link for Sacrificial Blood using your example, and then I took the same code, renamed it for one of my other poems, Through Open Doors, but it all redirects to my early poetry page. I was wondering if there was a way to make it scroll to the poem that it links to, instead of having it redirect to my early poetry page.

    That code either needs to be inserted in ‘HTML’ mode in the editor, or you need to add the TinyMce Advanced plugin which has a toolbar button for anchors.

    You should be aware that once you switch from ‘Visual’ mode to ‘HTML’ mode in the editor, that you should never switch back because it often totally destroys your layout.

    I edited my question, can you please look above your response.

    Your site is not showing correctly, so I can’t look at it to see what is wrong.

    Please get it looking OK again and then post back here.

    Site is back to normal.

    I don’t think you understand. I need to see the site with the widget in the sidebar, with the link that is not functioning correctly, and with the code added to the post to create the anchor.

    If that is not possible, then I don’t think that I can help.

    If that is already there and I couldn’t see it, I apologize. The site is too dark for me to make out a lot of it.

    I actually figured out what my problem was. When I switched from HTML to Visual, it messed things up. Today, I did program everything in just HTML and it worked fantastic. Thank you so much for your help.

    That is really great! Congratulations!
