Adding Anchors

Hyperlinks let you link to any other web page.  You can easily add links to your site using our "Add Link" feature.

But what if you want to direct readers to a specific spot within that same web page?

That's where "Anchors" come in.  It's a simple two-step process:

1. First, you create an "anchor" to mark a specific spot on the page.
2. Then, you can point to that anchor using the "add link" feature.

CREATING AN ANCHOR

Creating an anchor is pretty intuitive:

1. Hit "Add Anchor"
2. Type in the name of the Anchor (e.g. "AnchorOne")
3. Hit return

That's it - the Anchor is now placed on your web page!

POINTING TO AN ANCHOR

You can point to an anchor using the "add link" feature, with a twist.

1. Hit "Add Link"
2. Type in a # and the name of the Anchor you just created (e.g. "#AnchorOne")
3. Hit return

This "anchor point" will look just like a normal link... but when the user clicks on it, they'll be directed to the anchor on that page.

You can see an anchor point in action by clicking here.  It should direct  you to the Anchor we defined above (AnchorOne).
