 * Hi,
 * I’m building a site, and i have caught a problem.
 * I want to display posts in the loop and i want to show only one category posts,
 * I have modified loop that only one category displays, it’s on template page,
 * My problem is that i want to display on one page only 6 posts and have the option
   to navigate to older posts but in this category.
 * I tried the posts_nav_link() but it doesn’t work, i read that’s because if i 
   change default behaviour of the loop (like query_posts, get_post etc.) the next/
   prev doesn’t work.
 * So my question is, is there some way, method, maybe plugin that i can display
   this navigation to older post.
 * Thanks

 * You need to amend the custom query to take account of multiple pages. Eg:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       $args= array(
       	'posts_per_page' => 6,
       	'category_name' => 'News',
       	'paged' => $paged
       );
       query_posts($args);
       ?>
       ```

 * Ok i used your code, man thank so much, i just have to adjust it a little, but
   it works, my code looks like this:
 *     ```
       <div>
       			<?php
       				//The Query
       				$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       $args= array(
       	'posts_per_page' => 3,
       	'category_name' => 'czytelnia',
       	'paged' => $paged
       );
       query_posts($args);
       				 while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       			?>
       			<div class="box4" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
       				<div class="title4">
       					<?php $preview = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview', $single = true); ?>
       					<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       				</div>
       				<div class="sentry4">
       					<?php $preview = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview', $single = true); ?>
       					<img class="ethumb4" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $preview; ?>&h=100&w=290&zc=1" alt=""/> 
   
       					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       						<div class="clear"></div>
       				</div>
       							<div class="sinfo4">
   
       				<div class="rmore4"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"> Więcej... </a></div>
   
       			</div>
       			</div>
       			<?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <div style="text-align:center;">
       <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
       </div>
   
       		</div>
   
       </div>
       ```
