I still don't find this particularly great Pagination at all.

Here's what I don't get about all these (imo failed) attempts are making a decent pagination look & feel that so many sites are doing: what's so hard about it? To me, these are the basic rules:

- no underlines; small numbers in sequence don't need visual clutter, people get that page numbers are links, especially with a Previous/Next around it;
- large (visually identifiable) clickable areas. These tiny links are hard enough to click for someone without motor skill impairment, let alone someone with;
- make the current page clearly identifiable (Google got this down) but don't make it look out of place too much (the fact that the 2 is dropped down makes it fail; it should've popped up, retaining the baseline for legibility and grid alignment);
- provide enough spacing between page numbers to avoid accidental mis-clicking taking you to a wrong page;

Seriously… am I the only one thinking these are the basic rules? Pagination 101! Need I really create a blog post for this?

Oh and while I'm here anyway, I'd like to note that Flickr is about the only site I know that has done Pagination well. Much kudos to Flickr, I really do think their Pagination is just about the best on the Web.

I'd agree with you! And suggest that you *do* blog it so that I can point to it! "Kurafire's Golden Rules of Pagination"!

Aight, will do so tomorrow. Meanwhile, if you know of any other Pagination examples on sites (whether you like them or not, both types of examples welcome), please link me up. I'll add some examples of my own, either way, but you may have some interesting ones.

www.flickrleech.net is the best pagination for Flickr. ;) It simply displays the whole screen of small square thumbnails.
