   Okay, so I have been working on a theme for my blog for quite a while now.
   One of the last things I need to do is have a pagination feature at the bottom of the front page. Here is the site: http://www.hospiceinform.net/

   What php code is recommended for this? My front page retrieves posts a little differently than others. Here is the code for the front page:

   http://pastebin.com/HqjNNmWu

   The code was given to me by someone on the forum so I don't know exactly how it works.

   Appreciate any help/advice.

   that is a totally normal loop; which makes it easy.

   after this line:
   

   <?php endwhile; ?>

   insert something like this (that is a copy from the pagination of the default theme):
   

   <div class="navigation">
   	<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   	<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   		</div>

   change or remove the formatting divs if you like.

   details:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/next_posts_link
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_posts_link

   or use 'posts_nav_link' instead:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link

   This works great, but is there any way I can easily do a list of pages going back like what I have on the free template I am using: http://www.blogtap.net/

   Thanks a million for your help!

   use a plugin such as wp-pagenavi
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pagenavi/

   usage for instance:
   

   <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) wp_pagenavi(); else { ?>	
   
   <div class="pagenav"><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page of Articles'), __('Next Page of Articles &raquo;')); ?></div>
   <?php } ?>

   this would check if the plugin is activated, or otherwise use your 'handmade' pagination.
