First, to change the number of articles shown (which seems to be common interest here), edit index.php (in the theme) and look for the following around line 12:

<?php if($i <= 2) { ?>

Change the 2 to the number of articles you do want to display.

Then look further down to about line 31 for the following two lines:


<?php } elseif ($i >= 3) { ?>
<?php if($i == 3) { ?>

Change the 3 to the number of articles you want to display plus one. That’s it.
