Since the blog is hosted at wordpress, I can't change the template so no php hacks allowed. =(
I'm hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!

However, when I try to save the post, wordpress strips the
id="endcrap" attributes in my posts. I've 'googled' this already and even in the wordpress forums, all the tutorials are on how to add a link to another post or a link off-site.Since the blog is hosted at wordpress, I can't change the template so no php hacks allowed. =(

It doesn't work either. But thanks anyway. 
I can't use the --more-- tag because I've already used it for something else. Funny how something as 'powerful' as wordpress can't even deal with in-page link tags...
I guess it can't be done. They're stripping it intentionally... I'll just install a wordpress blog on my site.

UPDATE:
Ay... for some reason, they disabled the id attribute for span and cite tags. But using a div tag should work.
For those who have the same problem, use this:

The name Attribute
When the name attribute is used, the <a> element defines a named anchor inside a HTML document.
Named anchor are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader.
Named anchor syntax:
<a name="label">Any content</a>
The link syntax to a named anchor:
<a href="#label">Any content</a>
The # in the href attribute defines a link to a named anchor.
Example:
A named anchor inside an HTML document:
<a name="tips">Useful Tips Section</a>
A link to the Useful Tips Section from the same document:
<a href="#tips">
Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>
A link to the Useful Tips Section from another document:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_tutorial.htm#tips">
Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>
