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.
So this tutorial will show you how to add numbered page navigation using Javascript to a Blogger/ blogspot blog. You can select one of the 7 available styles below.

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'>

How to Configure Numbered Page Navigation
After installing, you might want to change these default settings:
perPage: 7,
numPages: 6,
var firstText ='First';
var lastText ='Last';
var prevText ='« Previous';
var nextText ='Next »';
}
- perPage: how many posts will be shown in each page (i.e. 7). This value has to be the same as the number of posts on the main page. Otherwise, add the same number by going to "Settings" > "Formatting" and type it in the "Show at most" field, then click on the "Save Settings" button.
- numPages: how many pages will be shown in the page navigation (6).
- To replace the 'First', 'Last', "« Previous" and "Next »" texts, just type your own within the quotes.
Labels fix:
By default, Blogger will show 20 posts on label pages. To make this widget appear on label pages, we will have to cut down this down to the value that we gave for the
perPage variable.
Find each occurrence of the following code snippet:
expr:href='data:label.url'
Replace it with this one below:
expr:href='data:label.url + "?&max-results=7"'
Here
7 is the number of posts that will be displayed per page.
Step 8. Click on the "Save Template" button and we finished adding the number page navigation widget for Blogger. Enjoy!
