There are 201 'pages' with 13 links on each page. You can only go one page at a time and in sequence. I doubt that many people get past page 3 or 4 or 5 before they give up looking. And then if they do find something interesting on say page 47, there is no way to jump to that page if they want to find it again. They have to scroll back through starting at page 1 until they get to page 47. The probability that anyone goes through that process to get to page 201 is what?....... 0.000001%?

Recommendation: That you provide a way to "jump" to a given page without having to scroll to it all the way starting from page 1.

I don't think I would ever use it though or even try to remember the page number. It is so much easier to just use Google search if there was something I remembered reading that I wanted to get back to or if there was some topic I wanted to check in the blog about.

Say, since it is Memorial Day tomorrow, I wanted to learn about military record, I would just set up a search using:

site:familysearch.org/blog military

to get this:

https://www.google.com/search?client=...

If you are just interested in one of the subcategories of the blog, such as News, first go to that part of the blog and get the URL include after site:

https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/...

would be entered in the search as followed by whatever specific item you want, such as Rootstech:

site:www.familysearch.org/blog/en/category... Rootstech

to get these results:

https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/...
( familysearch.org/blog/en/page/47/ )
