That is so funny.  Because I do almost the exact same clicks.
When you start at this one:

    http://www.gnu.org/

you see the main page, which shows this line of links:

The Free Software Directory | GNU Software | GNU Projects | Licenses | 
Developer Resources


Apparently, you always click "GNU Software," but I always click
"The Free Software Directory."

      http://www.gnu.org/directory/index.html

Once I go there, I always choose "All packages"

      http://www.gnu.org/directory/listing.html

and then scroll down the page and click "textutils"

      http://www.gnu.org/directory/textutils.html

and then the "Web Page" link.  I guess you fixed that one,
though I'm getting confused now :)  Best I go eat some dinner.
