  Hi, Is there a way to limit the homepage to show only the last 3 posts and then just a “next” or “after” links below it?
  I’m not sure what is the limit right now, perhaps 10?, but I’m planning not to keep my blog long.

  Thanks for the help! :)

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

  Go to your dashboard, find ‘Settings’ (usually near bottom on left) click on ‘Reading’, you’ll see ‘Blog pages show at most’ and enter the number of posts you want.

  Hello there. absurdoldbird has given you the instructions you need to have 3 post excerpts on your front page. Do note that if you display more than 5 – 6 posts on your front page it will become so long that it will take a long time for it to load, and page loading time is a page ranking factor. Recent studies reveal most visitors will wait only 3 -4 seconds for a site to load so you will want to keep that in mind. I also notice that you are using the Structure theme. It has unusual features and you will benefit from reading this Introduction to Structure article so you know how the theme is designed to operate and can use it effectively.

  Thanks a lot absurdoldbird and timethief! This is really a very helpful community!

  I tried to search my question before posting this but obviously I’m the only one who wasn’t able to figure it out! :)

  Thanks for that Intro link, I’ll check it out. My blog is still under construction. :) But yeah, I really like the theme Structure and room for customizing it. :)
