   I would like to display a filler in the spot if there is no next post and/or previous post. So that when you click on the first link, there is a special "filler" div displaying a dash or something to signify that something belongs in that spot.

   Does that make sense?

   Does anyone know a conditional code to check if there is a next post and "else {" put something else?

   Here is my current code:

   <div class="prevlink"><?php previous_post('%','Previous Post<br></a><span style="font-weight: normal">', 'yes');?></div>
           	   		 <div class="nextlink"><?php next_post('%','Next Post<br></a><span style="font-weight: normal">', 'yes');?></div>

   I want to add <div class="filler">&mdash;</> if there is no prev or next post link

   Thanks!!

   You could use get_next_post() in an if statement to test if there is a next post. If yes, display next post link using next_post_link() ( side note next_post() and previous_post() are both deprecated ) otherwise display your filler div.
