 * Hello all. I’ve just recently taken my blog and set it up on my personal web 
   site. I have almost everything how I would like it to be, matching the rest of
   the site layout, etc. The only thing I just cannot do is get the previous/next
   page links to show up how I would like. Here is a link to my blog so you can 
   first see what I am talking about:
 * [http://robertlbryant.com/blog/](http://robertlbryant.com/blog/)
 * Where it has the box that says “Older Entries || ” is where I am having problems.
   I noticed how in the permalink pages, it will show the name of the previous and
   next entries, if there are any. I would like to somehow get that box to always
   have the name of the previous and next entries, regardless of being on a permalink
   page or not (if this is possible). It would also be nice if there were a way 
   that I could make something that says “Latest Entry” or “Earliest Entry” if there
   are no links to show. Now, where I am wanting this to be is in the header, as
   I have it setup so far. Here is some pseudo-code for what I’d like:
 * if permalink_page
    *name of post prior* || *name of post next* if no_prior_post“
   Earliest Post” if no_next_post “Latest Post” else Older Entries || Newer Entries
   if no_older_entries “Earliest Post” if no_newer_entries “Latest Post”
 * It’d be nice if I can just use the names of the posts in both permalink and non-
   permalink pages, the else wouldn’t be necessary. I hope I’m making this clear
   enough for what I would like. Thanks for any help.

 * This is resolved. I just ended up making a new header file for the permalink 
   pages. I haven’t figured out a way to change the blank parts into Words to say“
   Latest Entry”, but I can get that figured out at another time I guess hehe
 * Thanks for anyone that read this, and if you have any suggestions as to better
   approaches to take or whatever, please let me know. Thanks again.
