If you really want to roll your own solution, you should at least try to keep your views clean and simple and move this conditional code into a helper. But why don't you use what's already there? will_paginate is a nice and simple solution for pagination. In your controller, you could write '@page = @videos.paginate :per_page => 10, :page => params[:page]' In your view, use the pagination_helper like this: '' This will render the pagigation links, and there are a lot of options to customize it. Concerning limit and offset: Using those is an absolute must to get reasonable performance. And, best of all: will_paginate uses them if you paginate active_record queries automatically!

(IMHO). More flexible, and not that much more code. More RUBY-like. I noticed you’ve added that you recommend using limit and offset… but I still stand by what I said… paginator is a better choice.
