Adding a next previous navigation block to a News Detail page.

I have a page newsDetail.php that displays the full content of any news release.

Also on this page is a sidebar listing the 10 most recent news releases with links to them.

I wish to add to this page a next previous news release navigation block that allow visitors to go back and forth in the news releases using the default display order of each news release to determine positioning.

I.e: if we released 3 news releases this week and a visitor was currently looking at the 2nd most recent, he would have the option to to click next to see the most recent or click previous to see the previous (older of the three) news releases.

The most recent news release of course would not let you view the next because there is none newer.

By clicking previous you could view all previous news releases (1 at a time) going back through the archives.

I do not require the running total of news releases to be provided between the next and previous links. (i.e.: no Page 23 of 459).

Below is my code and my failed buggy attempt to add the next-previous code block. The page is visible at http://www.canadasprayerguide.com/news_releases/newsDetail.php?Fast-links-to-09-Prairie-grasshopper-forecasts-2=&page=2
