paginate.html

<!-- 
See http://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/#render-the-paginated-posts
for futher usage of pagination on Jekyll pages
-->

<div class="pagination">
  {% if paginator.previous_page %}
    <a href="{{ paginator.previous_page_path }}" class="previous">Previous</a>
  {% else %}
    <span class="previous">Previous</span>
  {% endif %}
  <span class="page_number ">Page: {{ paginator.page }} of {{ paginator.total_pages }}</span>
  {% if paginator.next_page %}
    <a href="{{ paginator.next_page_path }}" class="next">Next</a>
  {% else %}
    <span class="next ">Next</span>
  {% endif %}
</div>

Use {{ paginator.next_page_path }} instead of {{ paginator.next_page }} to build the paginated path.
