 * What file includes “the loop”?
 * I need to find it to insert the following:
    previous_cat_post(); next_cat_post();
 * to enable other posts in the same categorie

 * “The Loop should be placed in index.php and in any other Templates used to display
   post information”

 * The Codex isn’t clear on exactly which index.php file contains the loop. It is
   in /wp-content/themes/[themename] where [themename] is the name of the theme 
   you are using.

 * Actually, it is clear: “…and in any other Templates…”.
    The template files are**
   always** in the theme directory.
