Categories have main pages at URLs like http://voices.yahoo.com/books/?cat=38 
Category IDs can be suffixed to content_date URLs (e.g. http://voices.yahoo.com/content_date_MM_DD_YYYY_6.html) to list only articles published on that date in that category.
Most articles are single-page basic text-and-graphics (e.g. http://voices.yahoo.com/yahoo-fires-all-contributors-12721520.html?cat=3) while others have video (e.g. http://voices.yahoo.com/video/how-better-housekeeper-12537238.html?cat=6) - the ?cat= category suffix does not appear to be necessary to access the page, but is added by the site if not present. Video articles can be identified by the leading /video/ path in the URL.
