   Hi everyone.

   Is there a way to make an entire div tag a link to the previous post?

   I'm working on an extremely stripped down photo blog that displays one photo per post, and I'm trying to figure out a way that clicking on the photo will take you to the previous post. I figured that I could make the a link out of the div that is holding the post, or out of the content itself, but when I use the previous_posts tag it generate the title.

   Any thoughts? Is this possible?

   Thanks in advance.

   What happens if you use:

   <?php $img = '<img src="foo.jpg" width="300" height="300" alt="Foobar: Previous image" />';?>
   <div class="img_link"><?php previous_posts_link($img); ?></div>

   Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand where I'd place that code (I'm new to all of this), but I assume that would have to be placed within the post since there is image-specific code, not the single.php template.

   My goal is to find a way to universally apply a previous post link to all content within the div tag holding "the content" so when I create a new post the image will automatically advance backwards once you're inside the loop of single pages.

   Not sure if that makes this more confusing or if it clears things up.
