Yeah, actually I have tried that… as in:

<?php posts_nav_link(' · ', '<img src="previous.gif" align="left" alt="" >', '<img src="next.gif" align="right" alt="" >'); ?>

And nothing shows up at all. When I view source, I see that the php call didn’t even output anything to the html.

I think it’s a beautiful layout. I really can’t find anything I don’t like about it. The most nitpickiest thing I can say is that I think the gray lines in the left column go too far in to the shadow of the middle column.

I have a similar hybrid on my site: simonsportfolio.com

I think it’s a very nice design. Clean. Depending on the gamma settings on a person’s monitor, the different shades of gray/black may not be noticeable enough. I think it looks great though.
