Example 3: Jump Link from the bottom to the top of my Page 'Why Buy Kobo eReaders?'.

Note:The Pointer goes at the bottom of page. (Note: that if you have a really long page the Pointer doesn’t have to be at the bottom but can also be used at intervals down the page to redirect to the top.)

Note: This is a variation on Example 1.

Note: the Target should be placed in front of your destination. I had to fiddle with this as it wanted to land under my heading. I did this by entering an empty line and then   above my heading. It is probably easier than this and when I find out how easy I will update this tutorial. It will show on the visual screen as a tiny anchor. It doesn’t show on your live website.

TARGET LINK

Text Mode of Link Target

Note: Don’t put anything between the >< as you don’t want any text showing at the top of your page. For example if you do enter any text such as 'top of page' it will show up at the top. This isn't necessary as you know you are at the top.

Hi Helen -

I just did a similar blog at - amazing!

I'll go back and edit the blog to send folks this way!

One other note - I believe that since the "#anchor text" is part of a link, the name following the hashtag has to begin with a letter, followed by letters, digits, hyphens, or underscores - no spaces are allowed.

Perhaps you could verify my suspicion?

Great work!

Dennis

OK so if you are implying I'm a dinosaur you are right! If the old ways work why change unless you find something new and better. I am always agreeable to learning. So what is PHP?

Naww , not calling you names. You reminded me of my beginnings.

Just picking on you.

-----------------------------------------
Remember "Geocities.com"????
PHP is one of the new web programming languages that Wordpress is written in.
--------------------------------------------------------

Like JAVA, CSS....stuff like that.
If you peek into the text mode, you see what PHP looks like.

If you have taken a class in C, C++, or c#( C sharp), you will be familiar with the structure of PHP.

Honestly, I liked the old way, but since technology increased, it was developed as a scripting language best suited for to server-side web development.

Now Robert, I started programming with Fortran and that's really an old dinosaur. Then Pascal for engineering programming. Then I ran away and hid from coding until now. When I look at coding now it looks like hieroglyphics to me.
