How to Make a Number Page Navigation Bar for Bloggers

If you run a blog on the Blogger platform, then by default, you do not have a numbered page navigation bar along the bottom of your blog. While some themes include this, if you do not have a numbered page navigation bar and want to use one on your blog, you can insert the code manually. Unfortunately, the code will only work with certain themes, so it is not a guaranteed method. If you have already customized your template, ensure you back it up before proceeding.

Big thanks for Abu Farhan and Mohamed Rias for the script.

1. Log into "Blogger Dashboard," then "Template" and then "Edit HTML." (No need to expand widgets template)


2. Locate the following code: ]]></b:skin>


3. Add the following code before it:



.showpageArea a {border: 1px solid #505050;
color: #000000;font-weight:normal;
padding: 3px 6px !important;
padding: 1px 4px ;margin:0px 4px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.showpageArea a:hover {
font-size:11px;
border: 1px solid #333;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

.showpageNum a {border: 1px solid #505050;
color: #000000;font-weight:normal;
padding: 3px 6px !important;
padding: 1px 4px ;margin:0px 4px;
text-decoration: none;

}
.showpageNum a:hover {
font-size:11px;
border: 1px solid #333;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;

}
.showpagePoint {font-size:11px;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px;
margin: 2px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid #333;
color: #fff;
background-color: #000000;


}

.showpage a:hover {font-size:11px;
border: 1px solid #333;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;

}
.showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link {
font-size:11px;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px;
margin: 2px;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #0066cc;
color: #0066cc;
background-color: #FFFFFF;}

.showpageNum a:hover {font-size:11px;
border: 1px solid #333;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}



4. Find this code:



<b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='yes' >
<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>
</b:section>



5. Add the following code after that code:
