Howdy good folks, hope I am posting this is the right section.
What I would like to do is have a dynamic link to the first post in a category -- so when you click into say the 'Site News' category where the links for 'Next page' and 'Previous page' are there would also be a link for 'First page'.
Is this possible with either a bit of code or a plugin? I've searched and searched but not been able to come up with any thing myself.
Any help would be appreciated :)

I'm trying to figure this out, too. Did you find a solution?

Not sure if this is the right way, but it was a way that worked for me to create a link back to the first post of a category:
at the top of the particular page of interest I created this block:
<?php
$cat = 0;
$p_count = 0;
$cat_start_link = '';
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
$cat = $category->cat_ID;
$p_count = ($category->count);
// combine to get the final link with cat=#&paged=#
$cat_start_link = get_category_link($cat) . '&paged=' . $p_count;
}
?>
Then down in the content I created a link something along these lines (styled of course):

Hm it deleted the last part... lets try that again:
<a href="<?php echo $cat_start_link ?>">First Post!</a>
