 Since the functions previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link() print
 directly to the screen, you can't conditionalize around them, i.e. print
 tags before and after iff they are nonblank.

 I have a patch that replaces next_posts_link() with
 next_posts_link_text(), which return()s the value instead of printing it.
 To preserve compatibility, next_posts_link() is a thin shim that calls
 print next_posts_link(). Similarly, next_posts() has been changed to be a
 thin shim around next_posts_text().

 The same changes were made to previous_posts() and previous_posts_link().
