Create Blog Page With Pagination

1.Create page with name blog.php

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
 *
 * This is the template that displays all pages by default.
 * Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
 * and that other 'pages' on your WordPress site will use a
 * different template.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
get_header(); ?>
<div class="content blog">
<div class="width">
<?php  while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
<?php  endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

<div class="blog-left">
<?php
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query('posts_per_page=2'.'&paged='.$paged);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if (function_exists("pagination")) {
pagination($additional_loop->max_num_pages);
 } ?>
 <?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp;?>
</div>
<div class="blog-rgt">
 <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
  </div>
  <div class="cls"></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>



2.In function.php add the following code for pagination


/*--------------------------------pagination starts here---------------------------*/

function pagination($pages = '', $range = 2)
{
$showitems = ($range * 2)+1;

global $paged;
if(empty($paged)) $paged = 1;

if($pages == '')
{
global $wp_query;
$pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
if(!$pages)
{
$pages = 1;
}
}

if(1 != $pages)
{
echo "<div class=\"pagination\"><span>Page ".$paged." of ".$pages."</span>";
if($paged > 2 && $paged > $range+1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link(1)."'>&laquo; First</a>";
if($paged > 1 && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($paged - 1)."'>&lsaquo; Previous</a>";

for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++)
{
if (1 != $pages &&( !($i >= $paged+$range+1 || $i <= $paged-$range-1) || $pages <= $showitems ))
{
echo ($paged == $i)? "<span class=\"current\">".$i."</span>":"<a href='".get_pagenum_link($i)."' class=\"inactive\">".$i."</a>";
}
}

if ($paged < $pages && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href=\"".get_pagenum_link($paged + 1)."\">Next &rsaquo;</a>";
if ($paged < $pages-1 &&  $paged+$range-1 < $pages && $showitems < $pages) echo "<a href='".get_pagenum_link($pages)."'>Last &raquo;</a>";
echo "</div>\n";
}
}

/*--------------------------------------------------------------ends here------------------------*/
