How to Set Anchor Text in Blogger
Blogger blogs offer editing and HTML tools to help authors set anchor text in their blog posts. A hyperlink to a different page is embedded in the anchor text, which readers click on to navigate to the page the author recommends. This anchor text can say anything; it does not have to reflect the title or nature of the page to which it is linked. Popular options for anchor text include "Click here," "Read on" or "For more information, please visit this page." You can also state the title of the website you're linking to or the title of an article as the anchor text.

Tips & Warnings
Create your anchor text as described in Step 2, rather than as in Step 3, if you are not comfortable with HTML coding, as Step 2 requires no such knowledge.
