Also, 'first the blue pair, then the green pair' will get you in problems.
The correct sequence is (as seen from the "copper" side of the connector,
see NOTE below):
white orange
orange
white green
blue
white blue
green
white brown
brown
If you want to make a cross cable, reverse the green(s) and orange(s) on the
"other" side.
NOTE below: It doesn't really matter what side of the connector you look at
for as long as you always look at "the same side", but most people (me) uses
the copper side cuz is easier to see the wires.
YMMV, free advice you can sue me... :)

PS: If you have any question,
you will get any answer...
