Ok! Here is a true confession coming from my heart; I hate the default NEXT (navigation) on blogger blog, do you agree with me? I kind of like things to be simple but yet unique in a way that the next man would say that’s amazing.
I love the pagenavi plugin on wordpress because it kind of makes the navigational function sweeter to navigate. Why can’t we just have something like that in our blogger blog? Seriously! I love blogger blog so that’s why I brought this cool page navigation for us to use.
If you are looking for a cool page navigation bar then search no further because this widget I am about to drop is cool enough to blow you away in every way possible and I assure you that it will not slow your blog down and the widget is very nice, I mean lovely.
So are you ready for the tutorial? Ok! Let’s get right through it.

Hello Jumbo,

I’ll be driving my webmaster crazy because we are overhauling my blog and website early 2013. Tips like this are super for ME, likely overwhelm for her.
Thanks.
Hello Patricia, Glad you liked it
Hi Babanature – I don’t use blogger, but I think it’s great that you’re helping people to improve their page navigation – it’s such an important aspect of any website or blog. If it’s difficult to find your way around it can really put people off and increase your bounce rate – so this is great advice!

Hello Sue,
you’re right, a navigation seems to help reduce bounce rate and above all, it beautifies a website or a blog. Thanks for stopping by to make such a good comment.
