will_paginate benefits

Ah, here we go. I replaced my old hacked pager code with the following line in my view: "<%= will_paginate :id => true %>". And suddenly, paging works with tags, I have appropriate CSS classes for all the bits at the bottom, the pager disappears when there's only one page...

That would be why will_paginate is worth the trouble.

I need to redo my CSS to style it, but that's a pretty small thing. I guess will_paginate is more awesome than I gave it credit for. I still hope they fix the count thing :-)
