    Is there a way of having the blog program go from page to page after so many blog entries? I’ve seen other blogs that, at the bottom of the screen page, has a link to “next page” or something similar. I tried updating the reading options by clicking on “Show the most recent:” 10 “posts paged” thinking it would add page designations like I want but apparently it didn’t. In fact I didn’t see any difference between showing the most recent 10 “posts” and “posts paged.” What is the difference between the two?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    You need to set posts paged and also include the posts_nav_link inside your index if you are using 1.2
    Does your blog work okay in that directory ?

    My blog is working fine where it is so far, I just would like to figure out how to get it to page. I am using 1.2 incidentally and have it set to posts paged, but where exactly in the index do I put the posts_nav_link and what exactly is a posts_nav_link? Excuse me but I am a complete newbie to this and have been using the program as is for quite a while now.
    Would you mind giving me a step-by-step process?
    Thanks.

    It’s an edit of index.php, that’s all
    <?php endforeach; else: ?>
    <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php posts_nav_link('::','&amp;laquo;Newer', 'Older&amp;raquo;'); ?>
    </div>
    <div id="menu">
    The extra line above is the posts_nav_link.
    The other code up there is just to illustrate the placement of that one line.
    Once you have it working, you can alter any cosmetic aspects, but don’t do that until it is working – changing more than one thing at once makes finding errors harder.

    Hi, this is Carl’s wife. I’ve tried adding the above code, but something’s gone wrong twice. Either I’m doing it wrong or there’s something amiss with the syntax.
    You can see a screencap of what it does here:

    Sorry, I’m not sure how to make that a link. Carl TOLD y’all we were n00bs! 🙂
