Which one looks attractive? Obviously, the latter. If you have good creativity, you can design buttons in photoshop and use them to replace these links.

  2. Press Ctrl+F and find these lines
<b:includable id='nextprev'>
 <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'>
 <b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
 <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'>
 <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + &quot;_blog-pager-newer-link&quot;' expr:title='data:newerPageTitle'><data:newerPageTitle/></a>
 </span>
 </b:if>

<b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
 <span id='blog-pager-older-link'>
 <a class='blog-pager-older-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + &quot;_blog-pager-older-link&quot;' expr:title='data:olderPageTitle'><data:olderPageTitle/></a>
 </span>
 </b:if>

<a class='home-link' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'><data:homeMsg/></a>

Replace the code in Red by

<img  src='https://newerpostimage.png' alt='Next Post' />

Here newerpostimage is the image URL you want to use for newer posts link
Replace the code in Blue by

<img  src='https://olderpostimage.png' alt='Previous Post'/>

Here olderpostimage is the image URL you want to use for older posts link.

Replace the code in Green by

<img  src='https://homeimage.png' alt='Home' />

Here homeimage is the url of the image you want to use for Home link.
