  Greetings,

  I was able to get my forum posts to display on my home page. (a proud achievement for me)
  See http://Tip20.com this feed right from my wordpress blog.

  I’m hoping this is an easy one for someone. How can I limit the number of past blog posts that feed in? Right now it is showing all of them and I’d like to limit it to 1 or 2.

  Thanks in advance for any help on this.
  Tom

  Is your blog with WordPress.com? Just wondering because when I click on the link you provided, the blog posts seem to come from a self-hosted blog using WordPress.org software. If you need help, you’re better off asking over at http://wordpress.org/support as they’d be able to help you more.

  I think this is simple enough to do, though; from what I remember of my .org install, what you want to do is go to Dashboard > Options > Reading and there should be an option for syndication feeds. I think changing the number there should do what you want.

  Hey thanks for answering, I really appreciate it. Yep, I’m hosting it myself and forgot where I was when I asked. Thanks again!

  Well, unfortunately that didn’t do the trick. But I’ll check the other source as you suggested.

  Sorry, that must just be for the feeds on your blog, not when you use them on another site. Anyway, good luck finding the answer over at .org.

  Thanks again CJ I was able to get the teenie tiny piece of code that I needed to get this to work. ;-)
