Blurbs: How to Create an Anchor

Overview

An Anchor is a navigation tool used to jump quickly between different sections within a single Presentation. Think of it as a self-created menu bar.  Brandboom already has this visible for buyers in the top right of the buyer side menu bar, but some sellers prefer to add this within the presentation too.  This is especially helpful for large Presentations with multiple brands or categories.  We achieve this by using our Blurbs feature.

Setting up anchors requires two main steps:

1. Creating the "destination" anchors in your Target Blurb, which is the section you want to link to, such as "Jeans"

2. Building the navigation links in your main "menu" Blurb.

How-to

Step 1: Create Anchors in Target Blurbs

You must add a code to every Section/Blurb you want to link to (e.g., Tops, Jeans, etc.).

1. Open your Presentation and click to create or edit the target Blurb.

2. Click the Source Code icon in the toolbar.

3. Copy and paste the following code into the Source Code box:

   <p><a class="anchor" name="blurb name"></a></p>

4. Replace "blurb name" with the specific name of your Blurb (e.g., name="Jeans").

5. Click the Save icon.

6. Repeat these steps for every Blurb you wish to anchor.

Step 2: Display Navigation Links

Once your destinations are set, you need to create the clickable links that will take the buyer there.

1. Click to edit the Blurb where you want your navigation menu to appear (usually the first Blurb in your presentation).

2. Click the Source Code icon.

3. Copy and paste the following code for each link:

   <a href="#blurb name">display title</a>

4. Customize the code:

   • Replace blurb name with the exact name you used in Step 1 (e.g., #Jeans).

   • Replace display title with the text you want the buyer to see (e.g., Jeans).

5. Click the Save icon.
