How to Add Numbered Page Navigation Widget for Blogger

In Blogger, we have the option to set the number of posts we want to display per page by going to the Settings menu > Posts and comments > Show at most ? posts. Once the number of total posts in our blog exceeds this number, we will see "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" navigation links in our home page and archive pages footer as Blogger doesn't have any built-in function on page numbering. But page numbers instead of older and newer posts links could help our blog visitors to navigate quicker (jump from one page to another page or click on a specific page) and know the total number of posts published. Here's a tutorial on how to add numbered page navigation using Javascript to a Blogger/ blogspot blog. You can select any one of the 7 different styles that I have mentioned below.

Adding Numbered Page Navigation to Blogger

You can add this widget in just two steps.
1. Adding The CSS.
2. Adding The Script.

Now let's see how to add the CSS style for page navigation.

1. Adding The CSS

Step 1. Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > click on the Edit HTML button:

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the Blogger search box. Type or paste ]]></b:skin> tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it.

Step 3. Now choose one of the following numbered page navigation styles and copy the code just below it. Just above ]]></b:skin> paste the code of the style that you want to use:

2. Adding The Script

Step 4. Now find (CTRL + F) this tag:

</body>

UPDATED! working version for more than 500 posts!

Step 5. Add the following script just above it:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
/*<![CDATA[*/
    var perPage=7;
    var numPages=6;
    var prevText ='� Previous';
    var nextText ='Next �';
    var urlactivepage=location.href;
    var home_page="/";
/*]]>*/
</script>
<script src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/page-navigation2.js"/>
</b:if>
</b:if>

Configuration

After installing, you might want to change these default settings:

perPage: 7,numPages: 6,
var prevText ='� Previous';
var nextText ='Next �';
}

- perPage: number of posts are shown in each page (7)
- numPages: number of pages are shown in page navigation (6)
- you can change the text by replacing the "� Previous" and "Next �" texts.

Step 8. Click on the Save Template button and that's it! Enjoy!
