"Older Posts" not working…

    Hello,
    I’m working on finishing up a site with a custom theme [url=http://eliteathletic.com]. I have certain sections set to display a certain number of posts. If you click the “older posts >>” link, it doesn’t show the posts, rather, it takes you back to the homepage. Why isn’t this working properly? Do I need to create a specific .php file for archive posts?

    Also- the same happens when clicking categories (i.e. “News”). Instead of taking you to a collection of “news” posts, it takes you back to the home page. Any help? View the url above to see what I’m talking about. (Coach’s Column has the “older posts >>” at the bottom)

    check the usage of the ‘paged’ parameter in query_posts():

    I currently have it set up as:
    <?php query_posts(‘cat=6&posts_per_page=3’); ?>

    Do I need to add:
    <?php query_posts(‘cat=6&posts_per_page=3&paged=6’); ?>

    Thanks.

    have you read this part of the docu?

    Show Posts from Current Page

    Display posts from current page:

    query_posts( 'paged=' . get_query_var( 'page' ) );

    try:

    <?php query_posts('cat=6&posts_per_page=3&paged=' . get_query_var( 'page' ) ); ?>

    Hmm, not working. When I click the older posts link it just displays the same 3 posts. Here’s my code, maybe something is wrong.

    <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=17&posts_per_page=3&paged=' . get_query_var( 'page' ) ); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

         <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
             <h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
             <div class="meta"><?php the_time('n.j.Y') ?> // By <?php the_author() ?> // <?php the_category(',') ?></div>

             <div class="storycontent">
                 <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
             </div>

             <div class="feedback">
                 <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
                 <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
             </div>

          </div>

          <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

          <?php endwhile; else: ?>
             <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
          <?php endif; ?>

          <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Newer Posts'), __('Older Posts &raquo;')); ?>

          <?php wp_footer(); ?>
