It's all about positions - Try this

Next/Previous

Put this in your CSS:

#pagecontainer {position:relative}
#recentnav {position:absolute; bottom:50px}

The position declaration in #pagecontainer provides a basing orientation point for #recentnav. So #recentnav "knows" its place is at the bottom of #pagecontainer.

Clicky header image

That one was tricky, but this should work:

First you have to create a new link in your Links Sidebar: http://genlisae.livejournal.com/?skip=0Don't forget the skip part, it's important or all your livejournal links will disappear (sort of). Afterwards put this line in your CSS

Awesome! Thank you! Both worked.

One quick question for clarification so I know how this works if you don't mind.

The position declaration in #pagecontainer provides a basing orientation point for #recentnav. So #recentnav "knows" its place is at the bottom of #pagecontainer.

It is now at the bottom of the sidebar. Which works wonderfully for me actually, and I hadn't thought of having it there. Now that I see it there it makes more sense than at the bottom centre of the page where I had envisioned it, but isn't #pagecontainer separate from the sidebar or am I misunderstanding?

Great it worked :)

#pagecontainer includes the sidbar (called #paraphernalia in your layout) as well as the content (#main).

I just provided the really indispensable information to put the prev/next to the bottom; so every other style information is inherited. You can complement/change the code e.g. like this and see how it works:

#pagecontainer {position:relative; background:pink; margin-bottom:200px}
#recentnav {position:absolute; bottom:-100px; background:green; left:0; width:100%; text-align:center}
#recentnav h2 {text-align:center}

More questions? Just ask :)

Oh! Got it, thank you. Also managed to tweak a few other things with that explanation. :D

Very helpful. MUCH appreciated.
