Looks like the OP also asked here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=33793 and got much better answers.

To adapt the best solution there, here's what I like:

(in the view)

<%= select_tag :per_page, options_for_select([10,20,50], params[:per_page].to_i),
       :onchange => "if(this.value){window.location='?per_page='+this.value;}" %>

(in the controller)

@per_page = params[:per_page] || Post.per_page || 20
@posts = Post.paginate( :per_page => @per_page, :page => params[:page])
