Dearest Alex,
I've been trying to figure out how to link within the page in Dreamweaver. I've come across something called Name Anchors, but so far I can't seem to make them work. What do I do?

I figured it out. My goodness was the web confusing. They give you the HTML code, but they do not tell you where to place it. I guess, because it's logical after you KNOW what you're doing.
So, here's the solution in Dreamweaver.
Say you have a list of questions that you want to link to answers on the page.
1. You click your cursor (design view) in front of the answer.
2. From the top bar, pick Insert>Named Anchor
3. Name your anchor. For example: Answer01.
4. Select the text you want to link from. For example: Question01.
5. In the Properties tab, make sure you've clicked on HTML and not CSS. In the HTML tab you will see a window named Link and next to it a round type of symbol.
6. Take that symbol (your Question 1 is selected) and drag it to the anchor point in front of your Answer 01.
That's it. The Anchor symbol is visible in the design view, but it is not visible once you go to live view and test your page in the browser.
Now it's 10:57 and I'm going to bed.
Later!
