 * Newbie Question: Where do I put the code
    <?php posts_nav_link(‘sep’,’prelabel’,’
   nxtlabel’); ?>
 * for creating next – previous post navigation tags? Not sure where to put in the
   WP Loop nor which template? Help? Need basic like which template, where, and 
   what other changes in WP to allow nav to next and previous posts.
 * Thanks.

 * it is actually right with the s : post**s**_nav_link
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link)
 * i would put it into index.php before the `endif;` of the loop.
    (or into files
   like archive.php, category.php, which are likely to show a lot of posts)
