Blogger With Power of jQuery

I’m more than interested & eager to see jQuery work with Blogger. And in such a state of mind my experiment saw some results. But, I still wish to use jQuery to its full strength in Blogger. So in addition I thought to try jQuery Pager Plugin, which is used to split long content page into several pages so content pages are viewed with less scrolling. This post can act as a demo for Blogger. Rikrikrik has some more jQuery Pager Plugin examples. jQuery can be added with simplicity on Blogger which helps visitor give a one of kind user experience. Also don’t forget to check Create Expandable Blogger Posts With jQuery.
