This is yet another Thesis tips post, my previous post about Thesis tips to make blog unique and helped with a few basics changes. This second part is even more basic, it just covers the previous and next links found on pages and posts. You will be able to style and move them around.
You could stop by my Thesis category and see my other Thesis customizations.
1. Previous & Next Links – Style (Posts)
This is purely for single post pages only, you will have to put the css styling in your custom.css file. You can then change to your preferences, you also could add the font-size attribute:
2. Previous & Next Links – Style (Pages)
This is the same as above, but the only difference is that this is for pages only.
3. Previous & Next Links – From After Content to Before Content
On Single Post Pages. Place the PHP add actions in the custom_functions.php file. Here we are removing the links at the end and placing it before the content.
4. Previous & Next Links – Remove on Home Page Only
Place the PHP function in the in custom_functions.php file and it will remove it from the homepage.
5. Previous & Next Links – On Home, Archive, and Search Pages
Place the remove and add action in the custom_functions.php file for it to be displayed on the homepage, archive page and search page.

I think you forgot to replace a “placeholder” or something
Below #2 it says “dsadasdad”.
Regarding the next/prev links, I’m actually quite happy with their placement and looks out of the box, so I’m not sure if I want to play around with them, yet.

@Tycoon – glad to hear. You know I will help you out where I can
So, have you seen an increase in pageviews or just clicks on your “previous/next”-posts links after you made them red?
If you’ve seen an increase directly related to making them stand out more, than I’ll be sure to consider copying your trick

@Klaus – I don’t know if I will be able to see if they are clicking on it more, but the point would be to make it stand out and be noticed more.
Not sure, but maybe Google Analytics can give you some points with their ’site overlay’ feature?
