# Broken Pagination

 * I’ve been slamming my head against a wall trying to figure this out but can’t
   seem to get a solution. I have offset defined as 0 but in my pagination links
   offset+1 for older posts just leads to an error page. Not really sure where I’m
   going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
 * Here is all the code from my page.php file…
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       $offset = $_GET['offset'] ? $_GET['offset'] : 0;
   
       $page_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
       $total_posts = wp_count_posts()->publish;
   
       if ( $page_title == "Blog" ) {
   
       ?>
       <div id="blog_content">
       <?php
       	if($_GET['message']){
               echo "<div style='background-color:#d9ffd1; padding:10px; margin-bottom:20px;'>".stripslashes($_GET["message"])."</div>";
           }
       ?>
   
       <?php
           $post_count = 0;
   
           $args = array( 'numberposts' => 10, 'post_status' => "publish", "offset"=>$offset*10);
           $myposts = get_posts( $args );
           foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); $post_count++; ?>
       ```
   
 * And then my pagination links
 *     ```
       <div style="font-size:12px;">
               <div style="float:left; width:49%;">
               <?php
               the_post();
   
                   if ($offset > 0): ?>
               <a href="<?php the_permalink()?>&offset=<?=$offset-1?>">&larr; Newer Posts</a>
               <?php endif; ?>
               </div>
               <div style="float:right; width:49%; text-align: right;">
               <?php
               $next_post = get_next_post();
               if ($total_posts > $post_count + ($offset*10)): ?>
               <a href="<?php the_permalink()?>&offset=<?=$offset+1?>">Older Posts &rarr;</a>
               <?php endif; ?>
               </div>
               <div style="clear:both;"></div>
           </div>
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide
