Wordpress probably holds the solution for my organizational problem, but I haven’t yet discovered it. I’m quite sure the answer doesn’t lie in changing themes because I’ve tried quite a few and this one, Baskerville, has, by far, the best organization for my needs. It’s just this one irritant still to work out. If I describe it, maybe someone will speak up with the answer.
The situation is that my serial posts for my novella, Sensitive: The Abduction of Jubilee Wistler, appear in reverse order on a “category” page. Furthermore, as I post more and more of them, it requires scroll time to click on the title page, now down at the bottom.
I attempted a working fix, which I’m likely to repeat, by clumping finished sections one-seven into one post and starting anew with section eight. Every web designer in the world is now cringing at the awkwardness of this, I know, and I apologize.
I told myself I could simply provide a menu, listing the sections in proper sequence, which I know how to do. I could and do away with the page presentation altogether, but I’m still dreaming of adding artwork to the posts someday. I also like the little blurb/excerpt that appears on the posts. In short, I want the category page and want it to work…in proper order.
Maybe the answer is simple and right before my eyes. If so, please do tell!

A tiny bit of a fix of part of it may be: after I upload a post, I go down to the bottom, and either select a bit of text that implies I like comments (I LOVE comments), or add a line to that effect and select it.
Then I click LINK in the editor, and from the list offered, select the top item, the post I just uploaded. I go to the end of its link, and, after the last character (usually a clash) add #comments.
This is a new link created to the bottom of the page/post more or less which, when clicked by someone who has read the post, takes them to the comments WITHOUT having to scroll to the top of the post.
Because most of my posts are long (1500-2000 words is not uncommon), there would be a lot of scrolling for viewers otherwise, and I’d get fewer comments.
This isn’t your solution; I don’t know how to do that for categories (and need to figure it out, too), but someone taught me this one, and I’m passing it on.

Thanks, Alicia. By coincidence, I worked on this problem again today and changed the organization. Instead of going to that “category page,” navigation is all through the menu below the header.
Of course, there is still a link at the bottom of each “chapter,” that takes the reader to the next chapter. But for those who don’t want or can’t sit and read the novella all at once, there’s the menu, where they can go to any of the posted sections.
I’m always fiddling, trying to make it easier to read online.
Thanks for your suggestions and comments. And for your visit!

I’m going to fix the navigation, too, but a site map created by wordpress would have been nice.

Forgot: you have to then click Update, so the post now contains the link.
