I found this somewhere a while ago but i can't remember where (attahced)
You just need to choose one of the functions so i chose the one in my example
Here is the CSS for it
.page_numbers {
width: 600px;
padding: 5px 0px;
float:left;
clear:left;
margin:0 auto;
}
.page_numbers ul {
margin: 0 auto;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
.page_numbers li {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin:1px;
background: #a7a7a7;
width:25px;
}
.page_numbers li.current{
width:50px;
}
.page_numbers li a {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #a7a7a7;
padding: 1px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
font:bold 8px verdana,sans-serif;
display:block;
}
.page_numbers a.current, .page_numbers li a:hover {
background: #a7a7a7;
color: #fff;
}
and an example of how to use it (i couldn't be bothered to edit it....too many beers 🙂 )
<h2>General Articles</h2><hr />
<div>
<?php

}
