How to add script 

Click Ctrl + F in Edited HTML of the template and search </body> and just above this line add following code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
  /*<![CDATA[*/
    var perPage=7;
    var numPages=6;
    var firstText ='First';
    var lastText ='Last';
    var prevText ='« Previous';
    var nextText ='Next »';
    var urlactivepage=location.href;
    var home_page="/";
  /*]]>*/
</script>
  <script src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/page-navigation2.js"/>
</b:if>
</b:if>

Do not forget to change default things given in this template which are,

 perPage: 7,
numPages: 6,
var firstText ='First';
var lastText ='Last';
var prevText ='« Previous';
var nextText ='Next »';
}

To the values you have set for your blogger blog

• Perpage:7 - This line defines number posts on your main page, this should be equal to the number of posts you have set for your main page in Layout settings.
• numpages:6 - This line defines how many pages to be shown n page navigation before Next Page command.
• To change "First" "Last", "Previous" "Next" commands to whichever name you want to choose, change corresponding names you want.

By default blogger blog shows 20 posts on pages we have created using Labels, if you haven't follow my guide How to add multiple posts to blogger pages. To change that to  7 posts instead of folowing line

expr:href='data:label.url'

replace it with this line.

expr:href='data:label.url + "?&amp;max-results=7"

Then click n save button and you are done.
