• Save template and Click on View button to ensure that no code error been found. No effect on the navigation hack can be seen though.

NOTE: Parse script before paste at template editor. (Parse script here)

Modification:

• The value in the line of var pageCount =2; determines the number of posts to be shown on each page.
• The value in the line of var displayPageNum = 3; defines the number of page links in the navigation bar to be displayed (e.g. 1 – 2 – 3).

User who knows CSS and Java Script can customize the code to their likings.
