 * Just a quick question,
 * I have this piece of code for my pagination links
 *     ```
       <div class="left">
       	<?php next_posts_link('<img src="images/placeholder.png" />'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * but now i want to use always the same image for the first item, and second and
   so on.
 * This is what i tried:
 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink()('<img src="images/placeholder.png" />'); ?>"</
   a>`
 * But for some reason it doesn’t work.
    Hope someone can help me out.
 * Cheers

 * This is bad HTML syntax:
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php the_permalink()('<img src="images/placeholder.png" />'); ?>"</a>
       ```
   
 * Do you mean this, instead?
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="images/placeholder.png" /></a>
       ```
