adding images to wordpress pagination?

Question

I'm working with a blank theme and my nav.php looks like this

<div class="navigation">
<div class="next-posts" style="float: left;"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="prev-posts" style="float: right;"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>

My question is, how do I change the text links into image links?

What sort of image links? Like just a standard image for each? Or you want it pulled from the actual post? If so, attached images, or featured image? — Rev. Voodoo

I have some buttons I want to use in place of the words "Older Entries" and "Newer Entries." So not ones pulled from the post, just standard images (ex/ blog.studentlife.uiowa.edu/svp/wp-content/themes/svp/images/…) — Maddy

Explain further? I can make them background images but then how do I make them link? There has to be something simpler than using a plugin — Maddy

kinocreative.co.uk/hints-and-tips/… seems to be a good writeup, you can just add the links in as variables to next/previous posts link — Rev. Voodoo

Maybe my (edu) plugin can help you understanding the ways that are possible to display pagination a little better.

I updated it after reading your Q. You can now more easily style your links. Just add your buttons as background-images to the stylesheet.
