Next/Previous Navigation

I have this, and I think it works in 1.2 …..
<?php if ($single) { ?>
<center>
<?php previous_post('%', '', 'yes', 'no', 1, '') ?>
< < || Home || > >
<?php next_post('%', '', 'yes', 'no', 1, '') ?>
</center>
<?php } ?>
That goes directly above this line:
<div class="post">
Obviously you’ll need to alter a couple of details…

I’m sorry, I’m really lost. I’m using WP 1.2.1 and Kubrick 1.2.6 and when I click on an individual entry’s permalink, on that individual post’s page it shows the previous and next posts up on the top. But what I want to have is that on my main page it shows the 5 latest entries and then at the bottom have a link saying Next Page, which then goes to the next 5 entries, and so on. I also want this to happen on when I view my posts by category or by month.

I’ve looked at the other next/previous posts, but they aren’t very helpful to me. Could anyone help me out please? Thank you very much!

Am not sure if this would help but i find this somewhere in the site a couple of months ago.

echo $before.’Pages (‘.$max_page.’) : <b>’;
if ($whichpage >= 4)
echo ‘?? First … ‘;
previous_posts_link($prelabel);
for($i = $whichpage – 2 ; $i <= $whichpage +2; $i++) {
if ($i >= 1 && $i <= $max_page) {
if($i == $whichpage)

else
echo ‘‘.$i.’ ‘;
}
}

if (($whichpage+2) < ($max_page))
echo ‘ … Last ??‘;
echo ‘</b>’.$after;
}
}
?>

Aha ! the above lesterchan.net plugin works for me.

I using the following:

<?php if ($single) { ?>
<div class=”menu top-menu”>
<span class=”prev”>
<img src=”https://whatsbruin.net/images/l_arrow_plain.gif&#8221; alt=”l_arrow_plain.gif” align=”middle” /> <?php previous_post(‘%’, ”, ‘yes’, ‘no’, 1, ”) ?></span>
<span class=”next”><?php next_post(‘%’, ”, ‘yes’, ‘no’, 1, ”) ?> <img src=”https://whatsbruin.net/images/r_arrow_plain.gif&#8221; alt=”r_arrow_plain.gif” align=”middle” /></span>
</div>

<?php } ?>

But I am trying to “hide” the right arrow when the Permalink is displaying the most recent post.
