 * My code says:
 *     ```
       <div id="paginateIndex" class="fix">
       			<p><span class="left"><?php previous_post_link(); ?></span><span class="right"><?php next_post_link(); ?></span></p>
       		</div>
       ```
   
 * There’s no `&laquo; %` in there anywhere, and none of the called items have them
   either in my main CSS document.
 * Can anyone look at the bottom of [this](http://www.goblinbox.com/archives/3106)
   page and tell me why my cute buttons have < and > near them?

 * Because that’s the default display for [previous_post_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link)
   and [next_post_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_post_link).

 * IT IS?! I dug all through the documentation, too. I wonder what in my code is
   making them render outside the box, though. Hmm…

 * Try using `previous_post_link('%link')` and `next_post_link('%link')`. That should
   suppress the default angled brackets.

 * Ah, thank you. Apparently I’m a little dull today. *blush*
