 * I have just set up a blog including a number of Pages, Categories, Links, etc.
   in the right hand column. The (external) links that I have created work just 
   fine. But whenever I click on a Category, Page or Archive, I get a message that
   says the link is broken. This is true of all of the internal links that should
   have been created.
 * I’m using the default thems.
 * How can I repair these links?

 * I finally solved the problem, so for anyone else’s benefit. I’ll explain what
   I did.
 * Under: Settings/Permalinks, at the very bottom of the page, I found some code
   and an explanation that it needed to be placed in the .htaccess file, or that
   file needs to be made writable–which mine wasn’t.
 * This code is apparently essential to allowing for any updates or rewrites. Sounded
   important to me, and it solved the problem. (So why is it not a little more prominently
   displayed?)
