@BOLTRON: I've kept it secret for six
months, but.... yes, I admit :(
@Rob: ah, fantastic, means my manual
editing of the RSS and atom files worked
correctly. Thanks! ;-)

Sweet!!! This is great!
We should also come up with some POSH
Patterns for pagination -- how to mark them
up correctly!

@Chris: yeah, I forgot, I wanted to put a
note at the end saying that the markup for
pagination is worthy of a separate post all
by itself.
I have conflicted feelings about some of
the markup possibilities, though. We should
chat on that sometime…

I'm very interested in hearing your opinion
on the page system we have in K2 . Feel free to just mail me at
heilemann@gmail.com if you want.

Nice work. I'd like to suggest, however, that
the type of pagination links you discuss are
really only useful for sets of items that are
ordered based on some kind of relevancy
algorithm. I'm curious what your thoughts
are on pagination for a set of items that are
ordered alphabetically based on a title or a
name, or based on a timeline. Isn't it better
in that case to have the page links indicate
something about the items that are contained
on that particular page, rather than just the
page number?
For example, I want to provide pagination
for a list of 2000 books, 20 books per page.
The list is ordered alphabetically
(ascending). It seems like in this scenario
that a set of numbered pagination links is
not very useful to user who wants to quickly
jump to to books starting with the letter
"P".
Similarly, if I'm paging through a series
of blog posts or tweets, ordered by their
creation date, I might want to jump to a
particular point in the timeline.

That was a great overview, Faruk. I would
agree that I think the Flickr style is one of
the nicest out there for pagination. They
cover all of the bases nicely and in a clean
manner.
Now, I would definitely be interested in
hearing what you have to say about the markup
behind pagination. Maybe another post to the
blog? Part 2 in a series...he.

@jayluker: excellent points you raise.
Yes, for something that's ordered
alphabetically, page numbers would not be as
usable as Letter links (whether it's just a
single letter, or a range like M–P).
Also, Michael's link to K2's pagination,
above your comment, has an interesting angle
on pagination, in that they offer a slider
that highlights the month as a hover /
tooltip when you drag the slider around,
which I think is quite an interesting and
possibly great new approach.
As for blogs / tweets and such, that's what
archives are for. In my opinion, anything
with regular time-driven content should have
an archive overview; try chopping off each
section of the URL between slashes (/) in my
Pagination article's URL, to see how I handle
full-scale archiving. IMO it's the way to go
for blog content.

@nate: aye, Chris pointed that out already,
but I think it'll be a co-authored piece
instead, because I really don't like how much
work it is to manually update my site, and I
really won't have time anytime soon to make
the Django backend :(
But yes, a markup-oriented follow-up is
definitely a great idea, and I definitely
want to do that.
