Method 1

I can across this awesome tutorial just the other day:

which is a modified version of this one:

Method 2

You can use WP-PageNavi

Method 3

I had the exact same problem. Here are 2 solutions, were the first needs some coding from your side and the second is “hit and run” plus is semantically correct: A list.

1. paginate_link() function
2. my “easy pagination deamon” plugin
   -> offers a template tag (you can change the name) like oxo_pagination( $range); that outputs the following:
   [first][previous][1][2][3][4][5][next][last]
   With the $range attribute you can tell how many page links you want to have (seen from current one) and you also got a small stylesheet that gives you the ability to target every part of the pagination plus the current one.
