 * Hi. Me again.
 * So dumb whatever your answer is down. 🙂
 * How do I get previous & next links at the bottom of entries?

 * I did such a search; my problem is that I don’t UNDERSTAND what these things 
   mean. Totally php stupid. 😛

 * Edit your index.php template, and in it place those tags within The Loop:

 * See example on this page for how to get them to appear only on a single post

 * Okay, I see where the code needs to go, but when I put it there, nothing shows
   up. I changed my layout to make it single post (I think?)… what’s up?

 * I’m seeing it at the top of each individual post. Something like:
 * “MIA: The Little Banner Line Thing | Home | Bam!”

 * First, thanks for bringing this up as it has annoyed me for ages that I couldn’t
   get this to work and now it does.
 * The info at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_post](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_post)
   helped me tons – totally. Here is the code I used, following the helpful info,
   to make it work. Now, you might not know php, but hopefully you can recognize
   the HMTL and CSS where I jazzed it up a little to look better.
 * <?php if ($single) { ?>
    <p class=”prevnext”><?php previous_post(‘%’, ‘<b>PREVIOUS:
   </b> ‘, ‘yes’); ?> <?php _e(“<span>&bull;</span>”); ?> <?php next_post(‘%’, ‘
   <b>NEXT:</b> ‘, ‘yes’); ?>
 * In my CSS class, I have it set to have a border on top and bottom and be 80% 
   of the default font size with a span to make the bullet (a circle) blue. You 
   can see it in action at [http://www.cameraontheroad.com/wordpress/](http://www.cameraontheroad.com/wordpress/)
   and I did a search through my index.php for
 * php if ($single)
 *  and pasted the previous/next statement in there. Worked great.

 * Awesome. I figured it out too. With the extensive help of this board. 🙂
 * Now I haveta figure out how to make my silly lil Custom Fields to not be in one
   line…
