   I hope this belongs here.

   Hi,

   i have downloaded a photoblog (Nishita) and right now i'm trying to set the entry / the image of every post as a link back to the older entry.

   So, what i want is. When you click the most recent photo you go back to the one before.
   http://www.blog.brokenstars.org/

   I hope you understand what i mean. I know that <?php previous_post( '%', 'Previous', '' ) ?> is the general link but i dont know where to put and use it.

   Example of what i mean:

   I guess that won't work, since the Nishita theme does not automatically extract the image, it just calls the_content() which already includes the image.
   So you'd have to do that inside the post editor, create the link around the image manually or something. Which won't work, I think.

   You could modify the theme: use a plugin or a function like post_image() (search the forum, number of possibilities) to call a post's attached image and use it somehow like
   

   <?php previous_post( '%', 'post_image()', '' ) ?>

   This is just a dummy, but that's how you'd get something like the example site you posted.

   Okay, here's more to get you started.
   I made a site where I used a plugin called post-image.

   My index.php basically looked like this:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content_centered">
   
   	<?php
   	if (is_home()) {
   		$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   		query_posts("cat=-3&amp;showposts=1&amp;paged=$page");
   	}
   	?>
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<div class="entry">
   		<div class="entrycontent">
   			<?php post_image(); ?><?php the_content(); ?>
   
   		</div>
   	</div>
   
   	<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   	<?php
   		$nextlink="<img src=".get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory')."/img/next.gif width=21 height=24>";
   		$prevlink="<img src=".get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory')."/img/prev.gif width=21 height=24>";
   	?>
   	<div id="prevlink"><?php previous_posts_link($prevlink) ?><?php next_post_link('%link', $prevlink, TRUE); ?></div>
   	<div id="nextlink"><?php next_posts_link($nextlink) ?><?php previous_post_link('%link', $nextlink, TRUE); ?></div>
   
   	<?php endif; ?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   So, what I would do with your site is this:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content_centered">
   
   	<?php
   	if (is_home()) {
   		$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   		query_posts("cat=-3&amp;showposts=1&amp;paged=$page");
   	}
   	?>
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<div class="entry">
   		<div class="entrycontent">
   		<?php
   			$nextlink=php post_image();
   		?>
   			<?php next_posts_link($nextlink) ?><?php previous_post_link('%link', $nextlink, TRUE); ?>
   
   			<?php the_content(); ?>
   
   			<?php edit_post_link('Edit','', ''); ?>
   
   		</div>
   	</div>
   	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   To be honest, I can't remember why I needed to use "next_posts_link" and "previous_post_link" in the same line, but you'll figure it out :)

   EDIT: grrr ... change all the "& amp;" to just &
