    In this Web-site, there are new entries (with Dates) every day.

    When you click on [« Previous Page], do you think you'd see earlier entries?


    _____________________________________At the bottom of every page are
    These buttons.

    i suppose... on a DVD player, these 4 buttons would correspond to


    - Fast-Rewind
    - Rewind
    - Play
    - Fast-Forward

    matter

    Language Log.

    « Previous Page — « Previous Entries     Next Entries » — Next Page »

    Self explanatory (in English)

    "Older/newer" would be. "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
