# “Previous Posts” Navigation

 * I have several WordPress sites, and this is the first time I’ve run into this
   particular issue. The site where I’m testing a new theme [is here](http://www.inevitablemedia.com),
   and the “Previous Briefs” and “Most Recent Briefs” navigation isn’t working. 
   When I click it, it’s going to the same post, not the next post. It’s the same
   code I’m using on other sites, so I’m not sure what’s wrong. Here’s the code:
 * <div class=”navigation”><center><?php posts_nav_link(”,”,'<–Previous Briefs’)?
   >      |      <?php posts_nav_link(”,’Most Recent Briefs–>’,”) ?></center></div
   >
 * Any ideas? I appreciate your help!!!

 * try this:
 * `<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; blah blah blah') ?>`
    and `<?php previous_posts_link('
   blah blah blah &raquo;') ?>`
 * according to the codex, what youre doing is trying to use something twice thats
   only used once. In other words,
 * `<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>`
 * will provide BOTH links.
 * Codex here:
