"Previous/next" is not, because it is ambiguous in this context whether "next" refers to older or newer entries. It's a blog, so your default starting point is at the end, which renders the notions of "next" and "previous" iffy. Actually, now that I'm looking more closely at the footer at Language Log, it's even more confusing, because "page" and "entries" are separate links that go in opposite directions. Say, you're on page 3. So these are the footer links: « Previous Page – « Previous Entries Next Entries » — Next Page » And here's where they'll take you: Previous Page: page 2 Previous Entries: page 4 Next Entries: page 2 Next Page: page 4 -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
