Designing template for Blogger Platform is not as difficult as it seems. This month i was very busy designing my template. While doing so i tried to replace the Newer and Older post links with their respective post titles.
While designing the template i was trying to keep the design minimal and functional at the same time. Its really a good experience designing my first template. While making some changes to my template i tried replacing Newer Older post links with their post titles.
If you are trying to do the same follow the steps properly in order to change those static texts to dynamic post titles.

<style type="text/css">

#blog-pager-older-link {font-size:85%;width:200px;text-align:right;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var newerLink = $("a.blog-pager-newer-link").attr("href");
$("a.blog-pager-newer-link").load(newerLink+" .post-title:first", function() {
var newerLinkTitle = $("a.blog-pager-newer-link").text();
$("a.blog-pager-newer-link").text("<< " + newerLinkTitle);
});
var olderLink = $("a.blog-pager-older-link").attr("href");
$("a.blog-pager-older-link").load(olderLink+" .post-title:first", function() {
var olderLinkTitle = $("a.blog-pager-older-link").text();
$("a.blog-pager-older-link").text(olderLinkTitle + " >>");//rgt
