When a people click on day one it will take them to the day one article you’ve written. When people click on day fifteen, it will take them to the day 15 article you have written.
Day 1 through day 31 are listed on ONE landing page and then people can pick and choose from the 31 topics you’ve written. The first page of this 31 day event is your landing page for this series. That is the link that you will use with the categories.
