I didn't figure out the jumps until just about a week ago and put together that little thing I pasted in just for a case such as this. Now I'm glad I did. I still need to add some explanation and polish it up.

You're very welcome and happy blogging.

What do I use for "pageto linkto"? That seems to be the factor that I think is holding me up.

This is the link that will take you to the codeword on the other page: <a href="http://pagetolinkto#codeword">this is the text that will be used as the link</a>

This goes at the place on the landing page where you want to jump to: <a name="codeword">

I don't believe it's a page jump since I want to go from one post to another. Maybe I'm wrong.

sulz - I did see that entry but don't see how to create the anchor (if that's the right terminology). The instruction is a bit confusing. I see how to create a link but not how to tell where to link to. Hope that makes sense.

thesacred path - how would I get the URL of the post I want to go to? If I know that I think you may have answered my question!

Wow you are all FAST! Thanks!

create a link from the text in one topic to a topic title all in the same blog

I'm assuming that what's meant in "all in the same posts" but maybe you're right and the blogger couldn't find the how to write links entry in the FAQs.

I suggest the link that goes to the single-post page with the comments below.

Then in the post you are writing, highlight the text you want to use as the link, and click the icon above the writing area with the two connected chain-looking links. Click on that and then enter the URL into the pop up and click the OK button and that text is now a link to the other post.

this should be the one you're looking for, yes? all i had to do was type 'links' in the faq searchbox...

or are you referring to something else? if yes, please describe in more detail...
