I am looking for a plug-in that might give me flickr-style  
pagination.

Do you happen to know of one or something close?

What do I mean by flickr-style? run this  
[![Ferrari F50 GT and friends!](https://live.staticflickr.com/3641/3620791371_15100427bc_b.jpg)](https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=ferrari "Flickr Search")  
and scroll down. You will see pages 1-7 listed and when you click on,  
say, 6 the page numbers advance.

Its pretty cool and I am sure non-trivial to implement from scratch.  
So wondering if anything out there that does this.

Thanks.

will\_paginate does exactly that.  
You can set the window size (window in this case is the number of pages  
that  
show up on the right and on the left of the selected page) and have it  
done  
exactly like in flickr. Or any other way for that matter.
