I recently came to realize that WordPress allows one post to have muliple pages by simply adding the code <!--nextpage--> in your post. If your template includes the ‘link_pages’ or ‘wp_link_pages’ function, it will stop the post at that point, and place navigation there for the other pages. I liked the way MSN.com articles have their multi-page navigation, and wanted to do the same with my blogs, but the built in ‘link_pages’ function couldn’t do it for a couple reasons, so I modified it to my liking. I’ve divided this post into a number of short pages so you can see how it can be used, though their are many ways to use it, especially in combination with the original ‘link_pages’ function.

The main thing that needed to be added was the abilty to specify a ’separator’, a symbol between the page numbers like a comma or a vertical bar. The base ‘link_pages’ does do ‘next/prev’ links, but not in combination with the numbers, so that was the next addition, to have page numbers flanked by next/prev links. Finally, MSN has a ‘Continued’ link just above the page numbers, but only on the first page, to catch the readers attention that their are more pages, so I added this as well.
Description
Displays page-links for paginated posts (i.e. includes the <!--nextpage--> Quicktag one or more times). This tag must be within The_Loop.

Does anyone know the name of the wordpress plugin that creates a list of your posts in a category instead of just displaying them one after the other? I want it so that when someone clicks on a category they just get a list of posts from that category.
I'm sure Ive seen one…and sifting through the WP site is a nightmare

I use Fold Category List (www.webspaceworks.com/resources/cat/wp-plugins/31/), which collapses the menus, and clicking on a category lists all posts in that category, including sub-categories.

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

I found a work around for if you’re using non-standard permalinks.
Here’s what my permalinks look like “http://blackandwhiteprogram.com/report/patent-reform-act-of-2007-part-2/1″
The next and previous buttons weren’t functioning because the “/” wasn’t being put in.
Here is the “Prev” line in the source -
“echo ‘‘.$previouspagelink.’‘;”
I modified it to look like this “echo ‘‘.$previouspagelink.’‘;”
