brilliant, very concise. i have been trying to do this for the past couple of days and accomplished it using some very messy code — this cleaned it all up.

one question. i am doing the same as you are two types of posts in one column and one category in the other. Does this method support multiple pages? ie, for the left column i would like to have a a previous post link.

Thanks,

Hi, yes you can – using previous_post and next_post and using the “exclude” parameter for the function. Unfortunately there is a bug in the WordPress core for this exclude parameter function. The patch for this is found here:
