<p>wpbackbutton adds a “Back” button to your WordPress blog which behaves like the javascript history.back() method. In contrast to history.back() it, of course, doesn’t need Javascript & makes it possible to have a working ‘Back’ button even if the user comes to your blog via direct link (the “Back” button then redirects to the frontpage).</p>


wpbackbutton

Enables a back button that reverse engineers the users navigation to enable a simple "back" button on every page.

Page scroll to id

Couldn't be much easier

Create links that scroll the page smoothly to any id within the document.
