 * I looked in the wp database and couldnt find anything on my topic. I dont want
   to repeat previous requests.
 * Good Afternoon. I am in the writing “content mode” for [http://www.petvetoasis](http://www.petvetoasis).
   I am self taught on wp having digested numerous tomes on
    the subject. I learned
   the ability to use internal linking to link to other content areas on my site.
   My question is:
 * Let’s say on page X I have 4 different headings, A, B, C and D that are related
   to page title X. Let’s say on page Y I am writing about
    a subject and i think
   visitors would also be interested in heading “C” on page X. How do you handle
   that internal link so that when a person clicks on it, the link goes directly
   to “C” so that one does not have to SCROLL DOWN all the way to “C”. Is this possible
   and how do i do that step by step?
 * I read in one of George Plumleys books that you can put such headings ie A, B,
   C and D on a post and use those tiny bits of info to link
    to via each posts’
   url. However, I do not want to clutter up my main navigation bar.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi Mark,
    What you need to do is use anchors in your links as explained in this
   tutorial – [http://www.echoecho.com/htmllinks08.htm](http://www.echoecho.com/htmllinks08.htm)

 * Good Morning Christine. You know more about html than I do. I do not
    know a 
   lot of html. I want to learn but that is one of the reasons I am using wp. Could
   you give me the basics via an example of how to write a basic anchor and how 
   to write the link to it? Do you write all of that in the html side of the wp 
   editor? I did read the link but I need some basic help so that i can replicate
   what you teach me throughout my site. As a small animal clinician I wish i could
   return the favor! Thanks again. Mark

 * Yes, Mark, you would use the HTML view to insert those anchor tags.
    Quick example:
 *     ```
       <a href="#chapter1">Chapter 1</a><br/>
       <a href="#chapter2">Chapter 2</a><br/>
   
       <a name="chapter1"></a>
       <h1>Chapter One</h1>
       <p>Some text for chapter one.</p>
   
       <a name="chapter2"></a>
       <h1>Chapter two</h1>
       <p>Text for chapter two.</p>
       ```

 * [@jcastaneda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcastaneda/) — if I’m not mistaken,“
   name” is no longer the preferred way to do that — as it’s not supported in HTML5–
   rather id should be used?

 * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) yes you are correct. I
   forgot about that and I read that last week too
