 * Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a permalink which will take the user
   to the previous post in a single post display? ([http://www.ashadeofgrey.net](http://www.ashadeofgrey.net))

   Which you could have easily found by using the search box and typing in “next/
   previous post” (just like I did just now).

 * That’s not quite what I mean. And I did search.
 * I need some PHP that will generate the URL, not create the link.
 * Something that I can type that will just return: `http://www.ashadeofgrey.net/
   wp/index.php?p=83`
 * Not a hyperlink..just the URL.
