One of the features readers like Randy Vogel and others have asked for is to add a navigation link at the bottom of the page to get to the next article, so that when you finish reading an article you don’t have to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page to go to the “NEXT” and “PREV” article links. Thanks to our man Kevin Briggs, additional “NEXT” and “PREV” navigation buttons have been added at the end of the Comments section for each article.
