Simple Jekyll Paginator Logic I didn't like the pagination logic provided in the Jekyll Docs (http://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/) since it repeated the HTML for displaying the button, so I came up w/ this. It stores the proper previous page path into a liquid variable then plops it into the HREF so you only have to code your button once

paginator.html

{% if paginator.previous_page %}
    {% if paginator.previous_page == 1 %}
        {% capture previous_page %}/{% endcapture %}
    {% else %}
        {% capture previous_page %}/page{{ paginator.previous_page }}{% endcapture %}
    {% endif %}
    <a href="{{ previous_page }}" class="previous">&larr; Newer Posts</a>
{% endif %}

{% if paginator.next_page %}
    <a href="/page{{ paginator.next_page }}" class="next">Older Posts &rarr;</a>
{% endif %}

SO much better.
