   Does anyone have a suggestion on how to post summaries on your main page whereby the reader can choose to click a link to go to another page where the entire article is (and whereby they land at the top of the article and not just the top of the page)? This page will have multiple articles within a category.

   I am using an "" line, but it always leaves the reader at the top of the page.
   Thanks,
   Greg

   The easiest way would be to use anchors. So first set up your page with all of the categories or articles, create your anchors for each separate category or article.

   Next set up your summary page, link the summary to the appropriate anchor.

   Like this.....talking about Chardonnay Wine click here

   as you can see it opens a new page with the topic at the top of the page.

   Hi

   What you are talking about is built into WordPress. It's called Excerpts. There are 3 ways of doing this.

   Here's a good article about the 2 most common ways.

   Here's a page from the WP codex

   Yes, the more tab is built into the core of wordpress, however he had said "to click a link to go to another page" so I assumed he meant "to click a link to go to another page", I must have misunderstood or something ;)
