pressrow and kubrick arrows beneath header
-
I had the theme called “Pressrow” which I gave up because of a little arrow that appeared sometimes, but not always, beneath the header pointing to a preceding post. I could not see any way to get rid of it. It was not optional, and it was not always there. Sometimes I saw it, sometimes I didn’t, when I was logged in or wasn’t.
So I changed to Kubrick, and what happened? A little arrow or something appeared beneath the header pointing to the preceding post! And wasn’t there this morning! And wasn’t there when I looked again! And no way to get rid of it.
I used to see these arrows on other people’s blogs and I find them most disconcerting.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It’s a navigation aid for visitors and it is theme specific. Some themes have it and some do not. It allows the visitors, when on a single-post page, to navigate forward or backward through your posts. Some themes show them at the top, some at the bottom, and some don’t have them at all. Personally I think they are a good thing.

Well, sorry. I have just found out what those pointers are for. If you land on any post that is not today’s post, they will show you how to go one way or the other.
The designer assumes that people want to read posts in chronological order.
Maybe that would be to read those autobiographical blogs. -
To thesacredpath:
When I cam to write my second message, yours was not yet there.
Yes, but that “forward” and “backward” makes sense only if the posts are a chronological sequence.And if they point in two different directions it feels upsetting. I am Swiss and kind of obedient, automatically obedient, and imagine what that does to my inners when I get orders to proceed in two directions that are opposite to each other.

It is just another navigation aid for visitors, that’s all.
I visit several blogs that use the more tag, and if I haven’t been there in a week or two, I scroll down to where I left of reading, go to that single-post page, read that post and then use the “next” link at the top to get to the next newer post without having to go back to the main page of the blog and go through the process all over again.
Your blog main page, your category pages, your tags pages, your archives pages are all reverse chronological. It has nothing to do with the designer assuming anything. Blogs by their very nature are structured that way.

Yes, but my two blogs are about subjects, and I would like readers to go by subjects.
My most recent posts are nearly always just fillers, as I want readers to go to the top posts which now, after all kinds of operations and deletions and re-publishings, are simply what I really wanted to have in my blog.
Yet thank you for explaining this to me.
