 * Hello all 🙂
 * I stumbled over another problem. In my index page, I’m using query posts to retrieve
   posts from a category and the previous/next_posts_link function doesn’t work.
   When I click to navigate to older posts it just re-loads the current posts. It
   works in archives and any loop without query.
 * Has anyone else had this issue?

 * Example of proper pagination:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged=' . $paged);
       ?>
       ```
