Hello Yevgen,
That is already built into this plugin. I just do not have that option enabled on my blog.

You have 3 options in the plugin, the top of the post, the middle of the post [between the content and comments], and then the bottom. You can enable just 1, 2, or all 3 at the same time if you wish.

I currently have the 2 of the options chosen, but your recommended update is an available feature already…check it out

That’s a really cool idea for a plugin, though I have a suggestion.
While reading some posts I don’t really feel like reading through comments, and on this post I had to page down 5 times before I could actually get to see your plugin in work.
I think it would be more convenient to put these “back” and “forward” links after the post itself as well as after the comments.

I’ve never had a “blogger” blog so I’m not exactly sure of what all the capabilities of it are. If you are able to do any php coding with it or anything like that, than yes, it is very possible.

The best way would be to use some kind of regex expression so it would never error, but even a strrpos() function teamed up with substr() would do the trick just fine.

Are you able to code at all in the template?

I definitely hope so too, if not, be sure to shoot me over a message. I would be happy to troubleshoot any problems you run into with it if there are any.

lol I managed to get arrows on mine but I can’t duplicate it and I can’t have it show the next/previous post’s title. It just shows “Newer Post” and “Older Post”.

But it does know the URL. Is it possible to use $OlderPageURL and take off the http://me.blogspot.com/year/month/ and the .html? Would it be possible to remove the dashes (e.g. http://google.blogspot.com/2007/04/post-title.html becomes Post Title)?

If it isn’t or you’re not sure, don’t worry about it But if it is possible, just point me to where I could find out to make it easier for you.

Also when I try to duplicate it at the top, it never works. I’ve changed all the “id=” things but whenever I save template, Blogger removes it =/ Know anyone who’s good at editing blogger templates?

i am so guilty of this! i’m going to try to install this later today. seeing as how i’m one of those “not necessarily coders” people you speak of, hopefully it will work!

hmm blogger seems to have something similar but it only says “Newer Post” and “Older Post” instead of the title of the next post. Also no picture Also only shows it at the bottom.

It’s a great idea to have one at the top and bottom though. So if they see the title and they don’t like it, they can skip right away. I’ll see if I can find something to change it for blogger.
