 * hi
 * my main index has only ONE post per day. I kinda treat it as a single post page.
   I want to add a “previous post” link on the main index, pointing to the permalink
   of yesterday’s post.
 * however, previous_post() tag doesn’t seem to work inside the main index. how 
   can I do that?

 * well summing up, I need to PERMALINK TO YESTERDAY’S POST inside a post, but I
   need that done in the main index.
 * any thoughts on how I could do that appreciated!

 * You should be able to use this plugin and narrow the list being shown to one 
   post: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/recent-posts/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/recent-posts/installation/)
 * However, this will always link to the previous post, regardless of category. 
   I’m still trying to find a way to link to a previous post within a single category!
