   I have my page set up with a static page for the home page and I have to set one for posts to when I do that. To make my blog posts look normal, I created a page called "blog" that uses the default template that looks like this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
     <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   	<div class="navigation">
   		<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
   		<div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
   	</div>
   
   	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   		<?php include "title.php"; ?>
   
   		<div class="entry">
   			<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   
   			<?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
   			<?php the_tags(); ?>
   		</div>
   		<?php comments_template(); ?>
   	</div>
   
   	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
   		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   For some reason, there are no "next" or "previous" links. I don't know what's going on :(

   According to Administration > Settings > Reading

   Also, any Template assigned the Page will be ignored and the theme's index.php (or home.php if it exists) will control the display of the posts.

   do you mean:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_posts_link

   as in the example from the default theme:
   

   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <div class="navigation">
   <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   </div>
   <?php else : ?>

   (put in between 'endwhile' and 'else')

   Michael, I did not know that, thank you. I'm modifying the index page now and it's working

   Alchymyth, that's exactly what I needed. I can see that next_post_link is for single-view post pages while next_posts_link (with the s) is for navigation of blog results. That's what I was missing!

   Thanks both!
