  I would like to add anchor links to a page so that I can direct people to specific places on the page from an email or another blog site. I tried putting in HTML code but when I update, the code I added gets removed. Here’s an example of the anchor link code I tried to add to my page.

  MEDIA COVERAGE OF VOCAL VIBRATIONS

  Thanks for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Our forum software turned your anchor link code into a regular link, so I wasn’t able to see the code you added. If you’d like, you can enter your code in the forum reply box, highlight the code, and click the “code” button — that will mark it as code so the forum software won’t turn it into a link, and I’ll take a look at it.

  We also have a guide for adding that code to your page here: Page Jumps

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  OK, let me try again:

  <a href="http://operaofthefuture.wordpress.com/buzz/#MEDIA-COVERAGE-OF-VOCAL VIBRATIONS>MEDIA COVERAGE OF VOCAL VIBRATIONS</a>

  Hi there,

  I noticed that there is a quotation mark missing at the end of the URL in your code. Could you please try using this code instead:

  <a href="http://operaofthefuture.wordpress.com/buzz/#MEDIA-COVERAGE-OF-VOCAL VIBRATIONS">MEDIA COVERAGE OF VOCAL VIBRATIONS</a>

  Then, be sure to have the anchor point in place on that page with code like this:

  <a id="MEDIA-COVERAGE-OF-VOCAL VIBRATIONS">MEDIA COVERAGE OF VOCAL VIBRATIONS</a>

  The first piece code will be the link to send visitors to the anchor point that’s marked with the second piece of code. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Thanks for getting back to me. I’m not sure which code to use where. If the anchor point code goes in the place in the text where I want the reader to jump to, what code do I put in an email newsletter so that when they follow the link, it will take them to that anchor point?

  Thanks again!

  You can put the first link code I mentioned in the email newsletter — that creates the link that points to the anchor point code.

  When readers click on that link, it will take them to the place where you put the second (anchor point) code.

  If you have any other questions about that, just let me know. :)

  Thanks so much. I’m not very expert at this. I have no idea how to put html code into an email message. I just send out newsletters using Apple Mail rather than an e-marketing service like ConstantContact. Could you just give me a step-by-step on how to put the code into an email message? Or to convert the html into a URL? Thanks!

  Hi there,

  If you use a program that doesn’t support adding HTML to your emails, you can just use the URL http://operaofthefuture.wordpress.com/buzz/#MEDIA-COVERAGE-OF-VOCAL VIBRATIONS instead of the HTML to create the link.

  Thanks. That didn’t work at first until I added a hyphen between VOCAL and VIBRATIONS. All set!
