This snipplet is based on Ryan Kanno's work and snipplet #2680.

The page numbers are basically composed by pages_outside_trailing_range, page_range and pages_outside_leading_range.

The GET params in the request(except for page itself) are retained across different pages. This is important when you have an order_by param working inline.

Create digg_paginator.html in template folder as below. Then you can remix it and shine it by CSS.
