I've noticed a bug in the default theme for serendipity blog, which has unfortunately made its way into many other themes because designers have simply copied the default theme entries.tpl into their own theme folder and then made whatever changes they need to make, but without fully testing the rest of the file.
The problem I'm referring to is the next/prev page links below all posts, and above the footer (if the theme has one).

You'll notice the right facing arrow in the above image is to the left of the next link, yet the left facing arrow also sits to the left of the previous link.

Perhaps the entries.tpl file should be amended so that the next/prev link looks more like this one which seems to be better balanced by simply repositioning the right arrow.
Code Changes
The code changes required to make this happen are quite simple, just open entries.tpl in your favourite text editor and find the following code;
{if $footer_prev_page}
<a href="{$footer_prev_page}">« {$CONST.PREVIOUS_PAGE}</a>  
{/if}
{if $footer_info}
({$footer_info})
{/if}
{if $footer_next_page}
<a href="{$footer_next_page}">» {$CONST.NEXT_PAGE}</a>
{/if}
Now simply change that code to the following and save your file;
{if $footer_prev_page}
<a href="{$footer_prev_page}">« {$CONST.PREVIOUS_PAGE}</a>  
{/if}
{if $footer_info}
({$footer_info})
{/if}
{if $footer_next_page}
  <a href="{$footer_next_page}">{$CONST.NEXT_PAGE} »</a>
{/if}
In a previous post I discussed my feeling that the next/prev links which appear at the base of the overview pages, I call them the page footer, were flawed, and I suggested a fix for this. I believe this creates a more visually appealing link than the ori
