the older stories line in the typolis default layout is somewhat misleading just besides the most recent story. to locate "older stories" at the bottom of the page, and "newer stories" at the top of previous stories listings, you have to go to layouts -> frontpage and change the code into

<div id="pageNavigation">
    <% response.prevpage %>
</div>

<!--<div id="innercontent">-->
    <% response.storylist %>
<!--</div>-->

<div id="pageNavigation">
    <% response.nextpage %>
</div>

thus the storylist <% response.storylist %> is bracketed by the "newer stories" on top and "older stories" at the bottom.

actually, to change the part of the navigation sidebar that is the same for all users, call it 'user navigation', you have to access a hidden skin: go layouts -> navigation -> navigation bar for contributors and change in the bowser's path the contribnavigation by usernavigation. Now you may change the [blog] Home and tags lines.
Just think like the developers think.
