Can you link to entire vocabulary?

I have a section called How To..this is the name of my vocabulary. Under the how to vocabulary I have various terms that relate to the types of how to's.

I want to make a navigation item that is called "How To" with sub items that correlate with the terms. I can't make the main navigation item "How To" because I don't have a path to put in.

So my question, is it possible to link to a list of content items(nodes right?) under a vocabulary?

The url aliases that are created for the terms are as follows

/category/how/term

So I've tried going to website.com/category/how and it says page not found. I've also taken a look at my taxonomy and hovered over the edit vocab link and saw /admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/6. So I've tried website.com/taxonomy/6 and website.com/taxonomy/term/6 but none of these work.

I swear I feel like I'm beating a dead horse (look at my track) but creating links and aliases is way to involved. Maybe it's good because you can customize it easier or something, but it seems way to convoluted to me.

I'm about to learn how to program to try to fix all of the complication in the link making process. All that needs to be done is the create links button needs to have a drop down with content_types, specific content articles, and any taxonomy terms and then it knows the underlying link. I'm sure that's WAY harder than it looks but I want to do it.
