Now you know where you want your links, lets add a jumping off link.

The link to jump off from determines where you will end up Adding in the link is just a matter of typing in some simple code. To do this, you go into your WordPress Dashboard and bring up the post or page for editing.

You have probably been editing in visual mode.The link needs to be typed into the text mode screen, so click on the tab in the upper right corner or the editor.

Scroll around until you find the spot you are going to place your jumping off link. If you have trouble finding it, switch back to the visual screen for reference points. When you find your spot in the text screen, this is what to type in:


<a href="#mylink1">link name</a>

For mylink1 put in a name for your link-to location and for link name put in what you want to show on your link.

This is how my links look in the text screen
