  Hi, I am new to WP, and a convert from Dreamweaver. I want a www site that is basically 1 long page, and when a “page link” is clicked, the view kind of flies down to the right content.

  Example: see http://www.mutatemedia.com/ and what happens when the About page is clicked.

  Can WP do this?
  Thanks!

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

  Hi there. That site you referenced is only a single page and it uses page jump links in the menu to scroll down to different parts of the page.

  Technically it is possible to insert page jump links into a page and add them as custom links to the menu to create a similar effect, but your options for making it look just like you want is limited here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/page-jumps/

  You might want to consider setting up a self-hosted site with WordPress.org instead if you’re dead set on this type of design. With WordPress.org you can install custom themes and plugins, and even create your own theme and customise it to look like this. For more info on WordPress.org, see:

  Hi again, I am good on the Click me
  code. But at http://www.mutatemedia.com/ (and many other sitese these days) the page kind of flies to the new parts, instead of instantly jumping. Do you know what causes this cool flying effect? Thanks again.

  I don’t know how do make it scroll rather than jump, no. You can ask in the CSS forum if this is something that can be achieved by editing the theme’s CSS: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform

  To apply any of their suggestions you’ll probably need the Custom Design upgrade. See here for more information: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
