Ok I know that this is very basic, but some people starting out don't know about this.

Lets say you have a webpage that is very long, and requires users to scroll down alot. You can make it easier on your visitors by adding links that can take them to the top, bottom, middle, and anywhere else on the page.

First you need to know where you're going to send your visitors to when they click the link. In this example, I will show you how to send users to the bottom and top of your page.

1. You need the <a name=> tag. We will put this one at the top of the page, and name it "top"

You can put that right after the <body> tag if you want.

2. Lets make a link that will send users to the bottom. We will call it "bottom"

<a href="http://www.chineseonline.co.nz/#bottom">Bottom of page</a>.

You can put that where ever you want.

3. Now you need to setup the bottom of the page.

Put that right before the </body> tag.

4. Lets make a link that will send your users to the top of the page.

This may seem simple, but it can help you when you really need it.
