BleepingComputer.com: Need help with blogger coding

Hi! I'm new here and I'm hoping someone can help. I've already searched these forums for answers but didn't find anything.

My question is a fairly simple one. I'm using Blogger for my blog and I've already modified my blog template (the original Minima template) extensively. Now, I'm wondering if it's possible to change the "« Previous / Next »" links at the top and bottom of blog posts, into the previous/next page's title. The only example I can think of would be a ScienceBlogs blog such as Pharyngula, where the links are displayed as "« This is the title of the previous post | Main | This is the title of the next post »". I've already changed the original texts of "Older Post / Newer Post" to "« Previous / Next »".

Is this even possible? And if so, please help this HTML-deficient noob. =(

What I do know: this is the relevant portion of the template HTML code:

<b:includable id='nextprev'>
  <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'>
 
    <b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
      <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'>
        <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-newer-link"' expr:title='data:newerPageTitle'>[color="#FF0000"]Next Post »[/color]</a>
      </span>
    </b:if>

    <b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
      <span id='blog-pager-older-link'>
        <a class='blog-pager-older-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-older-link"' expr:title='data:olderPageTitle'>[color="#FF0000"]« Previous Post[/color]</a>
      </span>
    </b:if>

    <b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl != data:blog.url'>
      <a class='home-link' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>
        <data:homeMsg/>
      </a>
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
      <a class='home-link' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>
        <data:homeMsg/>
      </a>
    </b:if>

  </b:if>
</div>

<div class='clear'/>
</b:includable>

The red bits are the parts I've already modified; they are the visible link texts.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If anyone needs more info, I'll be happy to provide. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is possible, but unless you are reasonably versed in PHP, which I am assuming that is what the underlying technology is, then you will not be able to. All you need is an array that holds all of the names of the blog posts, and a pointer to keep track of where you are in the list. Then instead of "Next page" or "Previous Page", you would use your custom code to insert the names of the posts. It can not be done with HTML at all. It would also be possible to use Javascript, JSON, and AJAX to do the same thing.

Dang. =( I'm afraid I'm not nearly well-versed enough to start dabbling in PHP (hell, I barely even know what that is), so I guess that's it for now ... unless I'm ridiculously lucky and find something on the Net, but I've already searched Google and couldn't find anyone anywhere explaining how to do it.

Thanks anyway. =)

The thing is, unless you have some programming experience, you wouldn't even begin to understand what you were being told. On the other side, if you did know enough to understand how to do it, you wouldn't need anyone to do it for you.
