    Sorry it took so long. My blog is http://www.vincentplacessm.ca. My F.A.Q.'s are in a draft mode.

    When you get a moment, could you link your blog to your user name? If you don't know how, it's in the "8 things to know before posting" sticky at the top of the forum.

    A page jump should handle what you want to do:

    I believe that I've done this. I still don't get how to use the achor link? I have a series of Questions and below that I have the answers. I want to link the question to the answer.
    i.e. Q1: What do you grow in your garden?

    A1: I grow tomatoes, potatoes and lettuce.

    So by clicking on the question it will bring me to the answer then a link to return me to the top of the page.

    Thanks to all who help me in getting this done.

    Your blog isn't hosted here, but the html code is the same no matter where you are, and some of our local bloggers (on WordPress.COM) may want the information.

    This is the code for your list of questions. Each question (wording optional) is an internal link that points to a "target" shown below:

    <a href="#question1">This is question one</a><br />
<a href="#question2">This is question two</a><br />

    The answers should each begin like this:

    <a name="question1">Answer to question one:

<a name="question2">Answer to question two:

    That got somewhat messed up. The "question links" should end after

    @sensuouscurmudgeon, the blog is a COM blog, if I can judge by the Admin bar at the top of the page. :)

    Answer's still the same though.

    The code for the answers also needs the closing "a" tag afterwards.

    (Afterwards? I mean at the end...)
