Let's start with how you make a link from the bottom of a very long page, back to the top where we normally see the menus and the widgets with pages or categories close to the top of the page.
We want to make it easier to get back to the top for our readers.
This is for the example of training purposes, what I call the TARGET code.
This is for the example of training purposes, what I call the POINTER code.
where href="#top" will point to and jump to name="top"
Using the POINTER code at the bottom of the page will get you a link that says Link to Top that will bring you directly back to top of page when link is clicked on.
Note how the TARGET code does not have anything between its angle brackets. that is because you really don't want the words "TOP" at the top, you just want it to go there.

This training is perfect Denise! There have been so many times that I've been asked how to use anchor links and how to place links within your content to point to other pages. This will help a ton of people.
Linking from within your content from page to page is something that Google and the other major search engines LOVE. This allows them to crawl your site and find content very easily. You will get a bump in SEO and overall website quality score if you add links on relevant phrases to other pages on your site. In other words "interlinking" your site is a great idea!
Thanks for this tutorial. -Carson

Excellent tutorial.
It took me a couple of years to understand links and linking.
Even now I still wouldn't say I was that confident with using and creating links.
