In HTML a link tag is called an “anchor” tag.  That’s why it start with <a.  A is for Anchor.   If you want your link to go to a spot inside a page/post, you put an id in the page/post and then link using the # sign.

Here are the steps:

1. Add the id within quotes
   <h2 id=”name-can-be-anything-without-spaces”>
2. Add the link using the # sign
   <a href=”#name-can-be-anything-without-spaces”>

This video demonstrates this along with how to add a page that links to an anchor with an id.
