Home page functionality on another page

[Khaled Abou Alfa]

So I'm trying to display my posts in normal chronological order as formatted on my home page. I up and copied the code from home.php and made a page.journal.php. Then I created the journal page in the admin. 

Unfortunately nothing was 'printed' except for the number of pages available - the code for that is this:

<div id="PageNav">

    <?php $theme->prev_page_link('&laquo; ' . _t('Newer Posts')); ?> 

      <?php $theme->page_selector( null, array( 'leftSide' => 2, 'rightSide' => 2 ) ); ?> 

    <?php $theme->next_page_link('&raquo; ' . _t('Older Posts')); ?>

</div>

Any ideas why the loop wouldn't print anything out? Does it only work in the home.php?

I'm still on 0.63 (having moved away from trunk because it broke too much stuff for me). Is there any way to do this using the current stable version?

Thanks,
