When your readers stop by on an individual post you probably would like them to read some of your other posts. But when they get to the end of your article the only thing they see is <- Previous or Next ->.

Why not give them an idea of what your “Previous post” is by adding the Title of the Article they would be reading?

First look in your Single Post php for your navigation class, it looks something like this:

<p class=”pagenav”><?php previous_post(’%',’« Earlier’, ‘no’); ?> | <?php next_post(’%',’Newer »’, ‘no’); ?> </p>

Using the same class designation (ie p class=”pagenav instead of div class=”navigation”) insert the following code:

<div class=”navigation”>
            <span class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(’& la quo ; ‘. __(’Earlier Entries’)) ?></span>
            <span class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(__(’Newer Entries’).’ & ra quo ;’) ?></span>
        </div>

Save the code and go look at the navigation links at the bottom of a post, it should give you the Titles of the “previous” and “next” posts. You may have to make some minor adjustments to get the look you want, but it should work just fine. (Be sure to remember, there are no spaces in (& ra[la] quo ; )

If you don’t have a single post php, look for the navigation code in your Index php right after your content info.

I once had a customer that actually told me she was Zipophobic, that she was afraid to use a .zip file because she didn’t understand them.

Zip files are nothing to be afraid of, they are just a compression of a bunch of files for easy download/upload. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a nice, easy, fast way of transporting files.

According to Wikipedia

ZIP is a fairly simple archive format that compresses every file separately. Compressing files separately allows for individual files to be retrieved without reading through other data; in theory, it may allow better compression by using different algorithms for different files.

Moving a lot of files from one computer to another can be quite cumbersome. Storing spreadsheets from an accounting program on a CD for transport to the accountant is sometimes difficult because of the size. Backing up your personal or business information is a necessity, but it is a pain.

In my opinion, the easiest way to accomplish these tasks and a myriad of others is with a .zip program.

• Some are free, like http://www.7-zip.org/
• And there is the one I use, WinZip (free trial, not freeware).

If you have large amounts of information that you need to transport or store, try using a .zip program. It is the simplest way to go.
