On your homepage you’ll have a righthand sidebar containing your recent blog posts. Once you have several posts you may find that your list of recent posts is longer than you want it to be - you don’t really want the list to be greater than the height of the main image.
You can modify how many entries the recent posts list will display. After a couple of attempts six entries seems to work for my own homepage. To modify the number of displayed posts edit the file home.php and look for this bit of code and change the default setting to your preference (I’ve bolded my setting of 6):
<div
<h3>Recent Blog Posts</h3>
<ul>
<?php get_archives(’postbypost’, 6); ?>
</ul>
</div>
