After you choose your favorite Cascading Style Sheet(CSS), Save your template.
Now you need to add just one more script code , to do that

Go to Design >> Page Elements >> Click on Add A gadget >> Choose HTML/JavaScript.

Then add this Code :

<script type="text/javascript">

function showpageCount(json) {
var thisUrl = location.href;
var htmlMap = new Array();
var isFirstPage = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.length-5,thisUrl.length)==".com/";
var isLablePage = thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/")!=-1;
var isPage = thisUrl.indexOf("/search?updated")!=-1;
var thisLable = isLablePage ? thisUrl.substr(thisUrl.indexOf("/search/label/")+14,thisUrl.length) : "";
thisLable = thisLable.indexOf("?")!=-1 ? thisLable.substr(0,thisLable.indexOf("?")) : thisLable;
var thisNum = 1;
var postNum=1;
var itemCount = 0;
var fFlag = 0;
var eFlag = 0;
var html= '';
var upPageHtml ='';
var downPageHtml ='';

var pageCount=5;
var displayPageNum=3;
var firstPageWord = 'Home';
var endPageWord = '';
var upPageWord ='Back';
var downPageWord ='Next';

var labelHtml = '<span class="showpageNum"><a href="/search/label/'+thisLable+'?&max-results='+pageCount+'">';
for(var i=0, post; post = json.feed.entry[i]; i++) {
var timestamp = post.published.$t.substr(0,10);
var title = post.title.$t;
if(isLablePage){
if(title!=''){
if(post.category){
for(var c=0, post_category; post_category = post.category[c]; c++) {

}}}}//end if(post.category){
itemCount++;}
}else{

}
if(postNum==1) postNum++;
html += '</div>';
if(isPage || isFirstPage || isLablePage){
var pageArea = document.getElementsByName("pageArea");
var blogPager = document.getElementById("blog-pager");
if(postNum <= 2){
html ='';}
for(var p =0;p< pageArea.length;p++){

</script>
<script src="/feeds/posts/summary?alt=json-in-script&callback=showpageCount&max-results=99999" type="text/javascript"></script>
