The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
Are there any previous/next links I’m just not seeing?
I’m reading my way through the archived blog posts off and on, and it’s a right old pain in the expletive without prev/next capability…
If that sort of link is really not there–i.e. if I’m not just blind-spotting them– could the maintainer(s) please take a look at
https://codex.wordpress.org/Next_and_Previous_Links
and give some consideration to adding them?

If I understand correctly, you are looking for Next-Previous post links within each post. Is that correct? If so, no one has ever requested those links to be added, nor I have seen them in other blogs that I follow. But I'll take a look.
In the meantime, you can always go to the Archive, click the desired month/year with the RMB, and open the list of posts for that period of time in a new (separate) tab for easier navigation.
Thanks, Carlos! I appreciate your considering it.
I think if you try it, you'll find it makes a surprising amount of difference for such a seemingly small feature. Well, when reading through a lot of entries, anyway.
Take a look at one of these below if you want to see examples of some blogs using it (scroll/read the blog entries to the bottom, then click the 'Newer Post' link to move to the next article smoothly and keep reading; it's quite nice for obsessive reading sessions):

And, of course, it gets even smoother if you have a browser add-on like Vimium, which sniffs out such 'next-previous' links and allows you to just smack a key (square brackets, left or right, in my case) to browse in those directions without reaching for the mouse.
I added those links with the post title in brackets.
Oh, very nice! Thanks again Carlos; I've already been enjoying it on break at work today! currently chugging through January 2006 quite happily …
You're welcome!
