posts per page on blog page.

I'm trying to write the code in my home.php template, so that I can display 2 posts per page, and then have links to older and newer posts. I have links at the bottom, and can click on them, but when I click on them the posts listed don't change. Here's my code,

<?php echo get_next_posts_link( "Newer posts" ); ?> 
<?php echo get_previous_posts_link( "Older posts" ); ?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check to see if you wrap them in the loop.

I guess because you need to wrap it with an anchor tag ? might be obvious but can be helpful. Of course all this is assuming that this is the problem.

<a href="<?php echo get_next_posts_link(); ?>">Newer posts</a>
<a href="<?php echo get_previous_posts_link(); ?> ">Older posts</a>
