   Hi,

   I am looking to present a page that will show two things:
   1. Show the most recent 5 posts of a particular category ("blog_post").
   2. Have a link at the bottom of the page that shows navigation to the next 5 posts of that category.

   I am able to get the first part completed, but am having trouble finding what function(s) to use to get the navigation to show up and do what I want.

   Here is my code:
   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

   Thanks for the reply ESMI.

   Here is my template code of that page now: Pastebin

   I see the "Next Page >>" link at the bottom of my page now, but when I click it, it just shows the same 5 posts. In all I have 7 posts, so it should show the oldest 2 posts when I click the link, right? Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   Try replacing <?php query_posts('category_name=blog_post&posts_per_page=5'); ?> with:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('category_name=blog_post&posts_per_page=5&paged=' . $paged); ?>
