Numbered Page Navigation is a must for every blog. Well, my blog doesn’t has much pages so the readers can use the Older Posts button at the bottom of the page but if your blog has many pages and the reader wants to access the 12th page. He would not like to keep clicking the Older Posts button again and again so there is a huge need of Numbered Page Navigation in a blog. Here is a screenshot of how it looks:-
Follow the steps below in order to get the numbered page navigation:-
1. Go to your blogger dashboard—> Design—> Edit Html.
2. Find(ctrl+f) ]]></b:skin> and add the code given below BEFORE the ]]></b:skin> code.
.showpageArea a {
text-decoration:underline;
}
.showpageNum a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageNum a:hover {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.showpagePoint {
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
background: #ccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageOf {
text-decoration:none;
padding:3px;
margin: 0 3px 0 0;
}
.showpage a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding:3px;
}
.showpage a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
}
.showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color:#333;
}
3. Now find the </body> code and add the below code just BEFORE it.
<script style='text/javascript'>
var pageCount=5;
var displayPageNum=2;
var upPageWord="Previous";
var downPageWord="Next";
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>

You can edit two codes in the second html which you have to paste before </body>.
1 : var pageCount=5;
*where 5 is the the number of post that apppear in another page you will visit.
2: var displayPageNum=2;
*This code determines the number of additional page navigation numbers that will be displayed on the page.
So, try it out on your blog and tell me the result by commenting.
