In this Web-site, there are new entries (with Dates) every day.
Which web site? Though I suppose that doesn't
matter
Language Log.
« Previous Page — « Previous Entries Next Entries » — Next Page »
Self explanatory (in English)
"Older/newer" would be. "Previous/next" is not, because it is
ambiguous in this context whether "next" refers to older or newer
entries. It's a blog, so your default starting point is at the
end, which renders the notions of "next" and "previous" iffy.
Actually, now that I'm looking more closely at the footer at Language
Log, it's even more confusing, because "page" and "entries" are
separate links that go in opposite directions. Say, you're on page 3.
So these are the footer links:
« Previous Page – « Previous Entries Next Entries » — Next Page »
And here's where they'll take you:
Previous Page: page 2
Previous Entries: page 4
Next Entries: page 2
Next Page: page 4
