How do you create internal links within a wordpress post? In other words, how do I replicate the # function from a normal html webpage in Wordpress so I can jump down from a list at the top of the post to sub headings further down the post.
I'm still working my way through Zac's "How to build a wordpress theme", which is great BTW, so if the answer is revealed in this project, please forgive me!
Thanks in advance

It works the same way. If you want to link to section "foo" on your page, just make a link:
<a id="foo"></a>
where you want to end up when you click the link. Then put the link in your list at the top:
<a href="mysite.com/mypage/#foo">Link to Section Foo</a>

I'll try this out.

Treehouse Guest TeacherJohn's right :)
Although I would suggest leaving out the absolute link and just doing #anchor instead of domain.com/page/#anchor so that if the page name changes it won't break the link.
I haven't used it, but this plugin might come in handy too: http://wordpress.org/plugins/better-anchor-links/
