 * I would like to add next and previous links at the top of my post that stay within
   a certain category. I am using the theme twenty ten. What is the best way to 
   do this? Thanks 🙂

 * edit single.php – the link tags are there already:
 *     ```
       <div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
       					<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&larr;', 'Previous post link', 'twentyten' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></div>
       					<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&rarr;', 'Next post link', 'twentyten' ) . '</span>' ); ?></div>
       				</div><!-- #nav-above -->
       ```
   
 * (and same thing further down: `<div id="nav-below" class="navigation">`)
 * then use the info from the docu:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link)
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link)
 * see the ‘in_same_cat’ parameter
