 * I would like to have the next/previous post links operation *only* within the
   same categories. I did find a page with reference to a toggle (“in_same_cat”)
   that can be set so that it will operate as I’m hoping … but I’m too much of a
   newbie to understand where to look to find that parameter to change the setting.
   I get that it would mean editing a PHP file, but I’ve looked at most on them 
   in my installation, and can’t find it.
 * Anyone know where, specifically, to look? Or is there a plugin that can make 
   this option a little less geeky to resolve?
 * Thanks!!!
 * Mark
