General Support: Uncluttered pagination

Hi,

I maintain a site where the owner wants only one album containing all the pictures. At the moment, there are about 300 pictures in one album, which results in quite a cluttered pagination:

« 1 2 3 4 5 [6]7 8
9 10 11 12 13 14
15 »
Well, after some coding, I came up with a solution which you can look at here:

There are still a few flaws, e.g. when you are on page 4, the pagination looks like this:

« 1 ...3 [4] 5 ...15 »

I don't like the '...' between '1' and '3', because a '2' would make more sense and take less space. But I don't know how to code around this without ending up with gruesome spagetti code.

If you want to have the same pagination, just replace the generate_pagination function in plog-functions.php with the one you find here:

If someone has some advice or a better solution, I'd be happy to hear about it.
