Hi Guys, this is probably on the board already, but I wanted to share what I learned today. You see most of my posts and pages are pretty long. I know I get tired of scrolling down / up and could imagine how visitors feel. Besides that they probably just leave due to that fact. That's not good : (

So, I decided to do some research to provide who ever visits a better navigation experience by creating "in page anchor links." This is how I did it and it works perfectly.

1. Copy and paste my titles in notepad

2. Paste them into visual at the top of the visual page

3. Highlight each title one by one > click on the insert / edit link tool > remove the http:// > type in a hash tag # > attach a unique anchor word. Example #dollar

4. Switch to HTML text tab > locate the title or paragraph I wanted to link > above it I typed the division tag which is <div id="dollar">. Then type the closing tag </div> at the end of the title or paragraph. See full example below.

<div id="dollar">

This is an example title

<p Yeah, I know it even sounds complicated. It manages each user's account created on the computer.</p>

</div>

Me, I only enclosed the title not the entire paragraph.

Hope this helps someone.
