 * do you have the code in the template? something like
 *     ```
       <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link »'); ?></div>
       		<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('« %link'); ?></div>
       ```
   
 * and if so is it in the proper location?

 * Use [`next_post_link`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link)
   instead, notice the lack of plural.
