I have just installed WP-PageNavi plugin of lesterchan. (this guy creates some really useful plugins) WP-PageNavi creates a more usable navigation for your blog. Below is the screenshot of how the pagination of your blog will look like, after you have installed the plugin.
I have modified the CSS to suit my blog theme, here is how mine looks like:
If you would like to use my CSS, download this pagenavi-css.zip and replace the CSS file in the plugin folder.
Please be generous with your comments, not just for this post but in general. That way everybody will get to know each other better. And hopefully there will be a real community (not just silent readers) where we could share many things and benefit from each other.

P.S This plugin has been added to my WordPress Plugins page.
Is it compatible with the new WordPress 2.3?
yeah I am using it with my blog but somehow it is showing twice at the bottom of the page!!
I do not know why..?
and I would also like to know if it is compatible with 2.3?
Wayne,
You can check out list of compatible wordpress 2.3 plugins here:

WP-PageNavi 2.20 – Upcoming Version
I think this means that Lester Chan will work on releasing 2.2 version of this plugin so it will work with new wordpress 2.3
I wait for 2.3 compatible version, thanks for your introduction
CompuWorld, maybe you are using the code twice? It’s not compatible with 2.3 yet.
I recently installed WP-PageNavi after reading your article on it and I’m very happy with the results.
I have yet to do an exhaustive analysis of visitor behavior but since deploying the plugin, I’ve seen a significant rise in page views/visitor.
I can definitely see how it can encourage visitors to dig through a site. It does a great job of giving a visitor a sense of how much content a site has and makes it easier to explore. Thanks for the write up as well as the CSS! BTW – No problems with WordPress 2.3.2 and the latest plugin version.
Robert, that’s a useful observation. I am positive that this plugin will increase your readers’ length of stay on your blog. Because it encourages them to view more pages.
Thanks for commenting!
I installed page navi and uploaded it to the file manager and activated it but when
I pasted
the pagenavi didn’t occur as I expected
I wanted it to work for each category alone and one for the main page
so really unfortunately it didn’t work with me as what I expected, please in case that anyone of you know a prgrammer who can help me with this problem and charge me then I will be thankful for you, because really I am confused and I am worried of the theme of my blog because I didn’t do it by my ownself I paid for it for this I am worried to lose it in case of any mistake, please try to understand my problem and in case that anyone of you know a programmer then I will be thankful for you.
thanks
