   Hey

   I've got something in the loop to change the class of post 3 - there are 3 posts per page, so the last one on the page.

   Which is fine but...If there are less than 3 posts then it doesn't change the last post (to remove horizontal a line), which there will be on some archives for some categories / tags pages.

   Any idea so I can target exclusively the LAST post on the page..not post #3?

   I've tried a few code bits from other forum posts but can't work it out :( Here's the loop..

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <ul class="blog">
   	<?php $postnum = 1; ?>
   	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<?php if ($postnum ==3) { ?>
   		<li class="post_last">
   			Last Post
   		</li>
   	<?php } else { ?>
   		<li class="post">
   			Post
   		</li>
   	<?php $postnum++; ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </ul><!-- end blog -->

   Also, I've got next and previous links set up in the archives for pagination..

   <ul class="next_prev">
       <li class="prev">
           <?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Newer Posts') ?>
       </li>
       <li class="next">
           <?php next_posts_link('Older Posts &raquo;') ?>
       </li>
   </ul>

   Again, if there are less than 3 posts then it still obviously outputs the following code..

   <ul class="next_prev">
      <li class="prev"> </li>
      <li class="next"> </li>
   </ul>

   Is there any way I can write something to exclude the list altogether if there's only 1 page of archives / no need for the links?

   Help much appreciated

   Thanks in advance
   Boon.
