  How do I get more than 5 entries on the archive page? I’ve used the archive widget to set it up by month but it will only show 5 titles on each page, you then have to click ‘older entries’ but as there’s clearly space it seems a bit pointless. Is there a way of increasing the number of links on the page to 10 or 15?
  Thanks

  This is the correct URL for your free hosted wordpress.com blog http://firstfootstepsinafrica.wordpress.com/

  How many posts do you have set to display on the front page here > Settings > Reading?

  Also note this:

  In the majority of themes, posts in category or monthly archive pages show up just as they do in the main posts page. But in some themes only the beginnings of posts are shown, and in a few themes you only get titles or thumbnails. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/

  Lastly, note that we cannot edit the templates underlying our themes at wordpress.com > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  Thanks. On the front page I have it set to 5 which I think is fine. It’s on the archive page where I want it to show more. But perhaps this is one of the things that you can’t change.

  You are correct you cannot change the number of items displayed on the Archives page so it’s at variance with what you set here here > Settings > Reading.
