 * I’m running WP on a iis server and using the keyboardface custom 404 redirect
   method.
 * It’s working as expected but the next_posts_link and previous_posts_link functions
   are writing out the url as the default usrl rather than the rewritten url.
 * It’s something to do with the functions I think, but I’m not a programmer.
 * To see this in action go to [http://www.idleminutes.com](http://www.idleminutes.com),
   scroll to the bottom, and select the category “quick sketches”.
 * You will then see three posts with an “older posts” link displayed after the 
   third post.
    If you click “older posts”, it will function properly but the url
   will be “unpretty”.
 * The other navigation links, used on archives, properly write out the url.
 * How can I fix this??? I’m capable of hacking if instructed 🙂
