Thank you big time! I've been looking into doing this with some jquiry, your approach saved me some time!!
Do you by any chance have an idea of how to actually switch the direction of the posts? So basically 'NEXT' would be on the other side, meaning not only changing the text but the blog posts order as well. So when clicking on the right side you'd be going to a newer (by date) post and when clicking on the left side going to an older post.
Maany thanks
