This post gives the information about pagination.
If website have big content in a topic,then that should be divided into small pages for easy access. you may have lot of post in a topic, paging required for easy accessing of each post.
Suppose there may be 10 post means, we can list each post in each page or list two or more post in each page. This is the decision of the publisher or designers what ever you called.
Pagination may look below
In above pagination build, Page Number, previous and Next shown. Suppose there are 100 pages like below,
100 page links also look some what okay. If there is more than 1000 page links means, pagination create havoc for readers. Its not good to list all links in a page. Better we have to limit the links like 10 per page. See the above First picture.
we are in middle of 100 page like 50 th page ,to go first and last ,We can also add First Link and Last Link for ease access.
To highlight current page or active page,we may highlight the page link a little different by changing font styles like size and background.
In above pagination build we don’t know how many pages are exists, For that we may add additional info to the build like below.
