The Ultimate Technology

As we always Do, Making it easier for your blog user to navigate your blog easily with a single click. I think you had seen it on many blogs or sites, I would like it on your blog as there are many options starting from 1 till end page of your blog. Basically when the user comes to the end of a post, they have a option to directly jump on a page without going back to the page having the post which they have viewed.

2). Select 'add a gadget' HTML/Javascript.

3). Copy and Paste the following code inside it.
