One of my pet peeves is the fact that- sometimes people put a ‘next’ link- where a ‘previous’ link would make more sense in context of browsing though a blog.
You know how it works- you are reading through a blog, get to the bottom- and there, you have a link called ‘next’. OK, fair enough- you don’t give it any thought and click on it (The Affordance of that link is: it get’s you somewhere were you want to go) Now…page 2, you go though the articles- and there, at the bottom of the page you are greeted with:
OK So, when clicking ‘previous’, will I go back in time (so- will I get to a page, where I can read older articles) or back to page 1?
Does it not make more sense to name the anchor something like older posts, or newer posts?
Let me hear it.
