    Note: If you are using a domain other than .blogspot.com or .com, you must change
    var isFirstPage = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.length-5,thisUrl.length)==".com/";
    the bolded red text .com with your domain extension. For Example if your domain ends with .info or.net than replace .com with .info or .net . But if you are a BlogSpot user than leave the code unchanged.
  5. If you have pasted the code inside the widget, simply drag your HTML/Javascript of Page Navigation Widget to the area just below your blog post  and drop it there, as shown below
