Add Numbered Page Navigation Widget for Blogger

To configure the number of posts displayed per page in Blogger, follow these steps: Go to the Settings menu and click on "Posts and comments." Look for the option labeled "Show at most ? posts" and specify the desired number of posts to be displayed.

It allows them to quickly jump from one page to another or directly access a specific page while also providing an indication of the total number of published posts. To implement numbered page navigation using JavaScript on a Blogger/blogspot blog, you can refer to the tutorial pr...
