next/prev post link

it may be that I’m missing one of the required pages, like archives or something? I’m not sure. I’m building the theme from scratch. and this is my index.php page. not sure if this should be on single.php

I have it posting 1 post per page, then want to navigate through each via link. assuming this is how I do it?

nope, didnt work either 🙁
