Replace Blogger Newer, Older and Home Navigation Links With Images

Replacing Page Navigation Links With Images:

By default, Blogger blogs have page navigation links such as "Newer", "Home", and "Older" post links. These links appear below each blog post and can be customized for easy navigation. One way to customize these links is by adding images to them. Additionally, numbered page navigation links can also be added to your Blogger blog. Here, I will explain how to replace the "Newer", "Older", and "Home" navigation links with image buttons on your Blogger blog.

Step 1 : Go to Blogger Dashboard

And again search for <data:homeMsg/>

and replace it with image tag <img src="http:your image url link"/>
