Adding Anchor Links
An anchor link allows you to link to a specific location on a page on your site. Anchor links can be a bit tricky for the novice but will be easier if you have a grasp of regular links.
- Login to edit mode on your site.
- Place a word, sentence or paragraph that you would like to link to somewhere on the page then, just before the start of that text, place the anchor tag by clicking on the icon in the tool bar that looks like an anchor.
- Enter the anchor word (MUST be ONE word).
- Now you can go to anywhere on a page you want to create the link to the anchor and type some text, highlight it and click on the Link icon in the tool bar.
- In the URL space enter #anchorword or if you are linking from another page, enter the URL for the page with the anchor link followed by #anchorword (example: http://www.mydomain.com/resources.php#article)
- Choose to keep the link in the same window and give it a name.
- Be sure to click on the small floppy disk icon in the editing tool bar to apply the change, then ALSO click the disk icon in the main tool bar in the upper right of the page to save any changes!
As an example, if you wanted to have a link from the bottom of a page back to the top of the page; at the top of the page just above the first text in a text box you would add the anchor tag by clicking the anchor icon in the tool bar and entering the anchor word “top”.
Now, in a text box at the bottom of the page you can add the link by typing “Back to top”. Highlight the Back to Top text, click on the link icon in the tool bar and enter #top in the URL space.
What you see is 'Back to top' but the link will search for the anchor word 'top' and go to that location which is at the top of the page.
