I understand but wouldn't say it mixing posts since my dilemma is between adding a page to the information section (exactly as this subject pertains to) vs adding a plugin which again, is what I was trying to avoid in the original post. I suppose I could start a minimalists' approach to ZC thread. Furthermore, asking if a plugin is any good in its own support thread might not yield the desired results either ;)

For Blog/Interview/Article posts you "could" use EZ-Pages. They could even let you cross-link pages to each other using their "TOC" ("table of contents") feature.
And inside each page you could create links to other pages, much like you would from a blog post or other kind of article, etc.
The page URL would always be "your_site.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=XYZ" where "XYZ" is the id of the EZ-Page.

That would be the "simplest" insomuch as not adding any additional code or customizations.
So if "less tech" is what you're after, then yes you can do it that way.

But if a customized URL is important to you, or the ability to "tag" or group articles in other ways that various plugins would give you, then the plugin might be the better route for you.

That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you.
