Pagination display not scalable or responsive

[lrdj]

Current system for displaying pagination fails beyond a certain number of posts and pages. I've tried balancing the number of posts per page with the variable in config.yml but in the end with almost 2000 posts on my blog I couldn't get it to work.

I've created a very nasty hack on my blog with essentially hides the links to the middle pages. Not a great solution but it let's me publish my blog with all the posts back to 2001.

I need to finesse this so that it becomes more proportional and offers a way to scan or scroll to the missing pages byond clicking "prev" or "next".

This is what it looks like today:

My quick hack is in the index file in my repo:
