  I have all of my postings on my blog’s front page (bayburger.wordpress.com) and there is so much content that the blog is taking a very long time to load (loading 38 of 56 images, etc.). Can I create a break and then have a “next” button to view older posts, thereby keeping the front page to only the most recent posts?

  The link that fwd mentions will allow you to also only show ‘x’ amount of days as well. :)

  Another thing you can try is use the ‘more’ quicktag to devide up your post. If you use it within a post, your visitors will see a “Read more…’ link where you place it within a post. If clicked on, it will show them the entire post. if you use the standard text editor, you’ll see a ‘more’ box along tke top of the editor. If you’re using the rich text editor, it’s icon #13 when you look at this FAQ.

  Hope this helps,
