Older-Posts Navigation on Jonathan Wold Template

Hello everybody,

With the help of Jonathan Wold’s WordPress theme creation guide (https://jonathanwold.com/tutorials/wordpress_theme/ and https://www.jonathanwold.com/tutorials/wordpress_theme/preview/), I have created this more-or-less functional website:

<div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>

I assume I’ve garbled up the script and am totally misusing Wold’s original intentions… ?? If anyone has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it!

after searching manually through the style.css, index and most of the other files (frustratingly,

I hope this isn’t an inappropriate question
