Too many posts per category

    Is there a way to limit the number of posts that are displayed at a time when you click on a category? I already don’t like how my “Super Villains” category stretches out so far. If there’s a way to break it into pages with a “Next/Previous” button that would be great, but I can’t seem to find it.

    Adding sub categories would probably solve my problem, but is not ideal.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    No we cannot edit Categories pages. They are automatically generated by the software and we cannot access those files and edit them. You will have to consider assigning sub-categories.

    What’s critical is:
    (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

    We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or Tags pages and/or Custom Links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
