  1. I’ve not been able to find an email address to report this issue to you, so I’ll have to just leave a comment here: The links to navigate to other pages (1, 2, 3, Next) haven’t been working for a couple of weeks.

    Whether you click on the page numbers, or the Next button, or even if you edit the page number manually in the URL, the site only ever displays the content on page 1, which means it’s impossible to browse through older/archive articles.

    Please fix! 🙂

    PS: I love the new site design. Great work!
