   I'm new to WP and not very good at PHP so this may be a simple fix...

   I created graphical buttons for my previous/next page navigation. The buttons show up and work fine, but I cannot seem to get rid of the HTML previous/next text. It sits over my buttons and leaves them unreadable. How can I remove this text so that the links are purely graphical?

   Here's a link. The buttons are at the top of the post:

   The template code is:
   <div class="page-navigation">
   <div class="alignleft">
   <?php previous_post('%','Previous article', 'no'); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="alignright">
   <?php next_post('%','Next article', 'no'); ?>
   </div>
   </div>

   Thanks!

   Take a look here as I am pretty sure that you can customize the text that WordPress brings back.

   Not sure this will work, but try switching these..
   

   <?php previous_post('%','Previous article', 'no'); ?>
   <?php next_post('%','Next article', 'no'); ?>

   For..
   

   <?php previous_post('%','&nbsp;&nbsp;', 'no'); ?>
   <?php next_post('%','&nbsp;&nbsp;', 'no'); ?>

   Which (if it works), will replace the text for 2 blank spaces, effectively hiding the text..

   Alternatively it could a simple matter of using a little CSS to just give those elements a negative text indent or setting the font size to 0..
