# Add string to permalink

 * In my posts, I have at the end an authors avatar and descripion. I want to link
   from the blog list (Written by “author”) to the author description. The link 
   would be “permalink()” plus “#author”.
 * Such a stupid question but can’t find the answer. How do I add #author after 
   the permalink? I just thought `<a href="<?php the_permalink().'#author' ?>"`
 * But this doesn’t work…

 * What’s wrong with this?
 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#author">Linktext</a>`

 * had to use get_permaplink():
 * `a href="<?php echo get_permalink().'#author-box' ?>"`
