   nothing

 * I would love to get a feed address for one of my categories but [http://blog.apcug.org/archives/category/Discount/feed](http://blog.apcug.org/archives/category/Discount/feed)
   does not seem to work. Is that not what was meant by <site.com>/archives/category/
   <category>/feed

 * I don’t understand Michael’s solution, since if I just built my new theme, it
   would not be in the WordPress Theme Viewer site, would it?
 * In terms of vkaryl’s comment, I was even stupider (if that’s a word) than that.
   I created the snapshot.png file, and it was in the proper folder ON MY HD, but
   I forgot to upload it to the server (I am almost certain I remember doing that,
   but maybe I messed up and put it in the wrong folder on the server or something,
   but it certainly was not where it needed to be.

 * flashfader seems to load a flash slideshow, and multiple-random-img seems like
   overkill, because it is designed for pulling n images from a m (n<m) database
 * I really need to find a numeric tag I can do a modulo on, and let it generate
   a number to append to a file name, as described above.

 * All I saw was PhotoPress [http://isaac.wedin.org/photopress/](http://isaac.wedin.org/photopress/)
   which did a LOT more than what I wanted, and seemed to only provide one random
   graphic inserter
 * I need something that I can use more than once in a template (use one gets images
   1a, 1b, 1c and use two gets 2a, 2b, and 2c)
 * I am pretty sure the modulo approach I suggested would work, if someone can tell
   me of a tag that is numeric, and how to use php to form the name of an image 
   that will then be displayed

 * What I was remembering is the link moshu gave.
 * What is the advantage of doing that separation? Does it make it easier to just
   copy in a new version of WP and retain any mods one made in terms of plugins 
   and theme changes?

 * I just figured it out. The tags only show up on display of a single post. I was
   looking at them on a list of all posts.

 * I tried what Lorelle gave me for scriptygoddess since that is what I tried at
   the start, and got a few function not founds, and a few names of the categories.
 * I think moshu is right, I should stick to the existing tags, and just get the
   previous and next tag irregardless of category. But the question is why they 
   are returning null strings.

 * There must be something I need to do to make the previous_post() function return
   something.
 * I tried the string that oriecat suggested, and just got ||
 * I used the string IanD suggested and got absolutely nothing (in other words I
   put x before the string, and y after the string and got xy)

 * It did not help me (I must be dumber than even I thought)
 * The first link was where I got the code I tried
 * If you got it to work, can you give me the exact string out of your index.php
   file?

 * You make a good point
 * But <?php next_post(); ?> does not show anything.
 * Do I need to do anything to activate it?
 * <?php previous_post(‘« « %’, ”, ‘yes’); ?>
    | <?php next_post(‘% » » ‘, ”, ‘yes’);?
   >
 * Just shows the “|”

 * I may have to settle for those two tags
 * What I wanted was the previous and next in that category, I just dont want the
   string “Previous Post in xxxxx” where xxx is the category.
 * If x and y are categories, and my most recent posts were
    x post1 y post2 x post3
   y post4 x post5
 * If I am looking at post 3 the tags you reference would give me post2 and post4
 * What I am looking for is post1 and post5, but I dont want the specific string
   Previous post in x post1, I just want post1
