  My blog, http://reformedchristiantheology.wordpress.com, is starting to get too many posts on the front page. Is there a way to limit the amount of posts on the landing page by, say 5, or something like that?

  I googled everywhere and cannot find it. Maybe, I am just bad at looking. Please help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Can’t find the help article on that but it is at Settings > Reading and set the number of posts you wish on the front page.

  Also use the MORE button to create an excerpt manually on your post. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ for help on that. This will control the length of the posts on the front page of the site and encourage readers to click “continue reading” to view the rest of the post.

  Thanks.
