Imagine we are reading a book: if we want to read the next page, we turn the page to the right. So the left and right buttons here simulate the process of reading a book. Because blog posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, the "next page" is of course the "Older".
Hi! First off, let me thank you for a wonderful theme! It made me delete my Wordpress blog and switch to Jekyll and the wonderful, clean Lanyon theme. So, this is just a minor remark: After using Lanyon for for a couple hours I noticed something strange in the navigation for posts. Having the button "Older" to the left and "Newer" to the right felt strange. For some reason it did not feel natural to me. So I started to think about how I'm used to navigate older and newer post in blogs. And I just had to look down at the bottom om the page in Github to find the answer. If you have a paginator with digits, the newest post (no 1) is to the left, and older post is to the right (2, 3, 4 and so on). I guess that is why I expect the link to the newest post to the left and the link to older post to the right. I know this is of course my own preference, and I don't know if there is any reason you have choosen to put the navigation links in this particular order. But anyways I thought I would make a request to switch the buttons in the theme. Cheers!
