    There really is a problem as it is just going from :
    this page : https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/got-5-minutes-115-ways-to-invest-in-your-consignment-or-resale-shop/
    to this page https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/category/5-minute-fixes/
    The other links work for your other articles but not this one.

      The page you want, the page which contains the blog posts in the category “5-Minute Fixes”, is indeed https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/category/5-minute-fixes/ (You’ll notice that the 2 pages you mention above, are indeed different pages with different material)

      … I tried to explain it below, with the graphic. Didn’t help?

      You see, the blog software is sorting out for you, all of the posts which I chose to place in the category “5-Minute Fixes”. (Side note: you can access that same sorting ability in the sidebar on every page, where it says “What Kate said about:”, by selecting a category from the dropdown list, for example if you chose “Functional Friday”, you would be taken to this page: https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/category/functional-friday/)

    Hi Kate
    Would love to read your article however like Mecala and Lisa the links just go back onto themselves to this page.
    Regards

      Thanks to all my commenters on this post, who taught me an important lesson. “If your e-communication is not instantly understandable, it’s worse than saying nothing, because you’ve frustrated your viewers and made them feel less than comfortable.”
      The link leads to the archive page for all my posts in the category “5-Minute Fixes”. But the “headline” of that page is not very obvious, and the very fact that the first (latest, time-wise) post in that category is the same post which sent folks TO the archive page makes it look, at a quick glance (which of course is all the time one gets, electronically πŸ™‚ ) that your viewers are going in a circle.
      I’ve highlighted the headline on the page and the heads of the first 3 posts in that category, and I apologize for the confusion. Next time, I’ll try to be clearer! Meanwhile, I hope that this explanation will help everyone explore the “5-Minute Fixes” category here on Auntie Kate the blog.

      How weird… did you read my comment to Mecala? The links work for me… perhaps you thought there would be a list, rather than all 115 posts? Let me know!

    The links do not take me to the 5 min fixes 😦

      Really Mecala? The link should take you to a listing of all the posts I have written and labeled as 5-minute fixes over the years… Does the top of the page you get have the heading “Archive for the β€˜5- Minute Fixes’ Category“? Then you can read & read & read! Here’s the link again: https://auntiekate.wordpress.com/category/5-minute-fixes/ Let me know if that works for you!
