A new Headway design for the Solicitors Online Blog

The Solicitors Online Blog new design October 2010

navigation in a blog

Wordpress navigation I like to be able to move around my blog easily.  And for a long time I have been really annoyed by the fact that there were no ‘next post’ or ‘previous post’ links at the bottom of my blog posts. This is present on many sites automatically, but not on mine.  I…
