 * Hi all,
 * I’ll need your help.
 * So, I made a so called static front page, just by modifying index.php, but then
   of course I wanted a page where I could list all posts, so I made that to. But
   now the problem is that I cant get “next_posts_link” and “previous_posts_link”.
 *     ```
       <div id="content">
           <?php
       		$args = array( 'numberposts' => 10 );
       		$myposts = get_posts($args);
           	foreach($myposts as $post) :
           	setup_postdata($post);
       	?>
            <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>             
   
               <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( __('%s', 'mytheme'), the_title_attribute('echo=0') ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
               <div class="entry-meta">
                               <span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author"><?php _e('Written by ', 'mytheme'); ?></span>
                               <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="<?php echo get_author_link( false, $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename ); ?>" title="<?php printf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'mytheme' ), $authordata->display_name ); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a></span>
                               <span class="meta-sep">. </span>
                               <span class="cat-links"><span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links"><?php _e( 'Posted in ', 'mytheme' ); ?></span><?php echo get_the_category_list(', '); ?></span>
                               <span class="meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date"><?php _e('', 'mytheme'); ?></span>
                               <span class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO') ?>"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></abbr></span>
                               <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'mytheme' ), "<span class=\"meta-sep\">|</span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"edit-link\">", "</span>\n\t\t\t\t\t" ) ?>
               </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
   
       		<div class="entry-content">
       		<?php global $more; $more = 0; the_content( __( '', 'mytheme' )  ); ?>
               <?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'mytheme' ) . '&after=</div>') ?>
       		</div>
   
               <div class="entry-utility">
                     <a class="comments-link" href="<?php comments_link(); ?>" title="Comment on <?php printf( __('%s', 'mytheme'), the_title_attribute('echo=0') ); ?>"> </a>
                      <a class="readmore-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Continue reading..." > </a>
               </div><!-- #entry-utility -->   
   
             </div><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
                <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       				<div id="nav-below" class="navigation">
                           <?php next_posts_link(__( '<span class="meta-nav" title="Older posts"><div class="nav-older"></div></span>', 'mytheme' )) ?>
                          <?php previous_posts_link(__( '<span class="meta-nav" title="Newer posts"> <div class="nav-newer"></div></span>', 'mytheme' )) ?>
                      </div><!-- #nav-below -->
   
       	</div>
       ```
   
 * This is main code inside #content. I managed to make everything look as I planed
   but now the only problem is that there is no next or previous posts but it is
   stated there in code. I know I’m doing something wrong here but I’m not so big
   expert in PHP.
 * So if there is someone willing to help me, just to get that next and previous
   posts link I would be very very grateful man.
 * Cheers.
 * EDIT
    Suddenly after posting this thread occured to me, should I use posts_per_page
   in $args array, but thats in query_posts command? hmmm. Would next and previous
   work then?
