I am finalising my blog content and have hit the buffers when trying to creat jump links within a blog. E.g. I mention a recipe, but want to take the reader to the end of the blog where the recipe is anchored. I am not used to using code, when I tried, my test appeared to work when I cut the code and modified both it and the anchor, the word in question appeared in the correct places. I thought I had it cracked, but the word was highlighted in blue and underscored. Clicking on the jump link did not take me to the anchor, in fact, nothing happened. I tried holding down control when hovering over the link, but it made no difference. What am I doing wrong? Be gentle, I am a complete code novice!

You can't add a function like that with CSS, but you could add a link to jump to the top of of a post: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/page-jumps/

I am curious if there is an easy way to add a "scroll to top" button in the home page so that viewers can easily navigate to top of page? I am using chateau theme and have custom design, thanks!

You can't. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them.

WordPress.org has some plugins to help with this feature, but I don't know how you can do a collapsible one via WordPress.com, and how to have it reflect dates.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to create a FAQ for my blog but I'm not sure how to go about doing so. It's going to be a blog for a virtual real estate/neighborhood, so the FAQs primarily for policies, rules, and such. I might give residents the option to post to the blog as well, but that's another can of worms, although inputs are welcome... ;-)

I know how to make the jump links if I were to use 1 document for the FAQ, but I'd also like to show when that particular FAQ item was last updated, so that if I do change just a portion of it -- it'll be easy for people to see. Otherwise, I'll have to make some sort of "last updated" log for each item I update.

Should I link within the page using jump links? Should I link to different posts instead? Should I use pages? Should I use posts? ..Or a combo of both?

What's your recommendation?

Hi,
I'd like to be able to link some words in my blog post to some headings lower down in the same post. Is this possible?
For example, if I write in an introduction "I'm going to write about cats, dogs and mice", can I link the word "cats" to the "Cats" heading lower down in my post? So the reader can go to that heading quickly without having to read or scroll down.
Is that possible?
Thank you.

You've put CreativeCommons in the first code but Creativecommons in the second. They have to be absolutely identical (as rain said, they're case sensitive).

@raincoaster: I tried the above but didn't get it. For e.g. look at my latest post http://wp.me/pfuZu-eQ and specifically look at the link of

As far as news is concerned, as I reported earlier about the Creative commons fund-raising, its exciting to see the progression as they are progressing roughly @ $1.5 to 2 grand a day and have already reached 1/4th of the target.

The hyperlink I want you to see is earlier. It gives

earlier

and in the other post its at

A very interesting initiative started by creative commons caught my eye. Creative commons is raising funds to the tune of $100,000 .

The last paragraph on the blog post http://wp.me/sfuZu-linaro

Please lemme know what's wrong or what wrong I have done here.

From whatever I understood it should get the link not to the whole post but to the paragraph which I'm pointing to. It doesn't do that :(

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@ both: ooo I think you are onto something. I generally only use IE 8 (yes, I know most people would consider this a problem in and of itself!) and this is where I have run into my question/problem. I just tried reading my site on Firefox and it reads just the way I would like it to (and as panaghiotisadam suggested) - yea! I'm not sure why IE 8 is doing this. I have logged out of wordpress and cleared all my browser navigation/cache/cookies more than once since I starting posting to this blog and the problem persists. I'll check with some friends who use IE 8 and see how it looks to them. If they see it the way they're supposed to then possibly it's got something to do with my browser configuration. If they don't then maybe it's a IE 8 problem. I may be back... until then, thanks so much for being there to help!

@Panos
I read what you said. Unfortunately I could not immediately reply to it as I had a phone call and had to break my comment into two comments.

timethief on "More tag, then scroll directly to newest text?"

timethief — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:56:54 +0000

That being said what Panos says also applies. We can use "the more tag" and it does direct readers to the exact spot in the text on the separate post page where we inserted the more tag. That's were I am directed to and it's where Panos was directed to as well Which browser and version of it are you using please? Also will you please try this? Log out of wordpress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies and then log in again. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

@massageisme
I have comments enabled on my blog. I also have a contact form at the end of my Commenting page here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/commenting/

I think what you're saying is there isn't a way to do this with wordpress.com b/c we use templates, right?

There isn't a way to do this on a wordpress.com blog. This is why. At wordpress.com we are all blogging on a multiuser blogging platform. In essence every member using the same theme is using the same template. We cannot access those template files. Only Staff can edit templates because any edit Staff make will effect all blogs using the same theme.

massageandme — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:46:31 +0000

Oh I didn't realize it would take a template edit. The effect I'm looking for is one of surprise between the before and the after of the more tag, sort of like revealing what's behind curtain #1, ie the reader should not accidentally be able to see it/read it before they get to it, and this effect is lessened by having to scroll down. I think what you're saying is there isn't a way to do this with wordpress.com b/c we use templates, right?

Also, I looked at your timethief blog out of curiosity (wow!) and noticed something I wanted to comment on but didn't see any way to do so. Is there a way?

panaghiotisadam on "More tag, then scroll directly to newest text?"

panaghiotisadam — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:43:53 +0000

@massageandme: The more tag is designed to link to the rest of the post, and that's the way it works in your blog too. Maybe you've got a browser problem.

timethief on "More tag, then scroll directly to newest text?"

timethief — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:33:24 +0000

I'm sorry but we cannot edit the templates underlying our themes. If you wish to create an exact "page jump" then instead of using the more tag you will have to use page jumps instead.

Hi, and thanks for your uber-prompt response! I feel like I've already looked closely at the more-tag support information and I have successfully added the more tag to my posts. But I'm not able to make the linked to section of text (right after the more tag) appear as the first text that the reader sees after clicking "read more". The page shows the post from the very top of the post and then the reader has to scroll down to find the part they haven't read yet. I guess what I'm kind of looking for is a combination of a more tag and a page jump from before to after the more tag. Any ideas? Many thanks for your help.

There are also other ways of splitting content and you will find the instruction links here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/>

Hello there,
Here's the link to the instructions http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
Notes: Do not insert the more tag into a block of text within blockquotes. Also note that the more tag will not display in preview mode but provided that you did insert it than will be there when you publish.
Hope this helps :)

massageandme — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:56:36 +0000

I cannot figure out, after having inserted a "More Tag", how to get the page to scroll directly to where the new text continues from the previous section, so that readers do not have to use the browser scroll bar to get down to the newest text. Does anyone know a way of doing that? Many thanks for any help.

It has to be the exact word, and yes, it's case-sensitive. But your unique words do not have to be DoubleCapitalized or even compound words. It can be any word at all as long as you use it exactly.

@panaghiotisadam: a follow up question. Does the 'UniqueName' have to be like that, for e.g. if the unique name is 'Censorship' does it have to be

or can it be

Please see the difference in uppercase and lowercase for the letter 'S' in the UniqueName .

Looking forward to knowing more.
