 * I’m using `get_posts()` function for display my most like this code snippet:
 *     ```
       <ul id="archive_posts">
       <?php $i = 0; ?>
       <?php $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&cat=-5');
       foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>
       <?php $i++; ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" <?php if($i&1) { echo 'class="odd"';} else {echo 'class="even"';} ?>><?php the_title(); ?><span><?php the_time('d F Y H:i') ?></span></a></li>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * And i want to use next/previous links. But WordPress doesn’t allow to display
   prev/next links without loop.
 * However i want to use next/prev links with above codes.
 * Can anybody help me?
