A Previous Post Link

An easy way to add a previous post page link in the top of your blog (classic template):

« Home | Previous Post Title »



Just paste the code below before the <Blogger> tag.

<ItemPage>
<p style="text-align:center">
&laquo; <a href="<$BlogURL$>">Home</a>
<span><BloggerPreviousItems> | <a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogPreviousItemTitle$></a> &raquo;</span><span style="display:none"></BloggerPreviousItems></span>
</p>
</ItemPage>

    If you want to add an accesskey to the link you'll need to hide the other links using CDATA. See example.

    This does not seem to be working for me... is this because I've already used the PreviousItems tag to populate a drop-down list within the header.

    Please help

    I got it working now, thanks!

    I was wondering if there's a way to do this with archive pages too. I tried a few things but it doesn't seem to work. thanks.

    I get the correct URL to the front page, but the link connecting to next post goes to the post where one allready are. What may be wrong?

    well it shows up, my "post-pages" is set to yes (has been for a while) and this shows up...

    however. it does not actually link to something. is there a step I'm missing? I copied it, pasted it where directed, and it does show up. it just doesn't actually "link" to anything.

    it doesn't work correctly. instead of the previous post name, it shows &previousposttitle$ or something..

    and thnks for the great work/design!

    please, don't stop.

    Which leaves the question, how do you include a "following post" link?

    « Next Post Title | Home | Previous Post Title »

    Great tip though.

    I recently switched my blog to the beta version, and now my navigation
    bar won't work. I'm using a custom template (one I did not design
    myself) and have no idea how to fix the problem. I used to be able to
    scroll through each post, but now the navbar only displays the most
    recent post.I would really appreciate the help.

    It works! Thank you so much. Note that it is important to copy and paste this item before the Blogger tag, and it doesn't show up on home page, only item page. My example here: http://www.monsters.net/
