It looks like that does a lot more than I want. That may be ok all I need right now is to be able to proceed to the next post or back to the previous post from the bottom of the present post.
Thanks,
John
Just for example sake, switch to the WordPress Default theme, and then look at how the wp-content/themes/default/index.php makes use of the template tag, previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link().

Are you saying I could modify my theme to include these features ?
That’s ok but I am not a programmer, know just enough to be dangerous. If I switch themes to check it out what happens to my current theme? It is modified and I would want to go back to it.

Suggested switching themes so you can see how it works, but switching to the Default will not modify your existing theme. You would have to do that, but you could use the Default’s theme index.php as an example when implementing it in your theme.

OK: Thanks, what I will do is switch to the default theme and print a copy of the index.php then return to my theme and see if I can implement the changes.

Found another way, I am hosted at Bluehost and they have a cpanel that lets you see, copy and edit your files. Already have copys to look at and can edit without disturbing the originals. Then when I think I have it ready can implement changes and still have a copy of the original.
Thanks for the help,
John
