 * Hi,
 * I was trying to adjust my single.php and I must have deleted something from this
   code because my single posts page now shows up blank. this is the code. what 
   could i have done wrong
 *     ```
       <?php next_post_link('<div class="single-nav-left">%link</div>',<i class="icon-chevron-left">,
       '</i>’, false); ?>
                   <?php previous_post_link('<div class="single-nav-right">%link</div>',<i class="icon-chevron-right">’</i>’,  false); ?>
       ```

 * seyiobasi I’ve fixed the code blocks, please use the code button or `backticks`.
   The `<li>` messed with the formatting (I’ve wrapped mine in the code button which
   is OK).

       <?php next_post_link('<div class="single-nav-left">%link</div>','<i class="icon-chevron-left">', '</i>', false); ?>
   
       <?php previous_post_link('<div class="single-nav-right">%link</div>','<i class="icon-chevron-right">','</i>', false); ?>
