Andrea Hi Jane -

Sure no worries - this really is something that’s confusing … until it suddenly isn’t, so don’t feel silly for not getting it right away ;-)

I’ve just numbered the directions in my comment from 4/23 - do me a favor, follow those and tell me where you get stuck, k?

I think it's a very nifty thing and a number of lessons back I wanted to know if this was possible. So it's here now and I can't make it work. I'm trying to point to my squidoo lens from my ad in 3stepads. This should definitely be possible. Before I go bonkers on this, can you give a more simple direction for the lame brains like me out here (if there are any others). Jane. Andrea -

You'd need access to the code of the page that you're wanting to point people at. I guess it might be possible to recreate that portion of the page and put it on your own hosting or something - would depend on the copyrights, etc... PLUS it might be that you could want to build your own list rather than theirs, yeah? Advanced stuff - happy to go there whenever the time is right ;-) Andrea Hi Jane -

So here's what you can do: 1. Go to the lens you want to link to. 2. Copy the title for the module you want to 'pop' to 3. On your browser click View -> Page Source (a new screen will open with the html for your lens page) 4. On your browser click Edit -> Find (this will search the page for whatever you want) 5. Paste the title you're looking for into the find tool. 6. Click next - it will find all references to that title for you (no need to hunt through all that crazy code) 7. You should see a # symbol and a module number in the "a href" linking code next to that title - add that to the end of your squidoo lens address (where you added #foot in your comment above) 8. The one you're looking for in this case looks like this: #module13745078 - see if you see it. 9. Take that #module-number and put it at the end of the link code you would normally use to point at this page. Should be good to go! Andrea Hi Rebecca -

Fixed now. And I probably confused things further calling it a header - put it in wherever html code can go. You can actually even put the #3 example somewhere above the heading/section you want it to 'pop' to. So in this case, maybe even at the end of a text module that comes before where you want your readers to begin. Play around with it a little - it IS confusing till you see it in action the first time. Plus you're adapting it to Squidoo ... I did it in a Wordpress blog to figure it out for you, but haven't tried it in a lens. hth, Andrea Oop - sorry Rebecca - I had corrected the first one and not the one on point 3.

I'm confused. I want my visitor to go partway down my lens, however, squidoo isn't accepting the code. So if I want my label to be "foot" then I should place the anchor code on squidoo as <a></a> I should then place this anchor code next to my heading A Natural Cure For Itchy Feet: Mineral Salts Foot Bath This heading: A Natural Cure For Itchy Feet: Mineral Salts Foot Bath should replace: A Heading Part Way Down the Page in the example? Now, in the above example, you have the end anchor tag </a> in two different places. Should </a> go right after the anchor tag or right after A Natural Cure For Itchy Feet: Mineral Salts Foot Bath ? or should i place the first code in the body of the module instead of where the module title is? Now with the second code, I want my visitor to go from my blog to my lens (squidoo.com/itchyhandsandfeet). The keyword anchor on my blog is "Bathe dry, itchy feet" so I should put the second code on my blog and it should look like: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/itchyhandsandfeet#foot" rel="nofollow"> Bathe dry, itchy feet</a> ? Hi again. I’m confused.

I want my visitor to go partway down my lens, however, squidoo isn’t accepting the code.

Now with the second code, I want my visitor to go from my blog to my lens (squidoo.com/itchyhandsandfeet). The keyword anchor on my blog is “Bathe dry, itchy feet” so I should put the second code on my blog and it should look like:
Bathe dry, itchy feet ?
