1. Create a block class (posts.php) and add the below code in it.

   class Blog_User_Block_Posts extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List
   {
       protected function _beforeToHtml()
       {
           $toolbar = $this->getToolbarBlock();
           $collection = $this->_getPostsCollection();
           $toolbar->setCollection($collection);     /*(Add toolbar to collection)*/

   <?php echo $this->getToolbarHtml() ?>
