I'm using/learning a new theme (the Thematic framework) on a new blog and even though I have set the number in WordPress (at 5), I'm having trouble setting the number of posts on the blog page.
When I publish a second post, it replaces the previous post displayed on the blog page. My "post page" is only showing 1 post (regardless of the blog page setting, which is 5).
I have set a static page as my home page and another page as a my bog page.
Am I missing something?

Makes me think you are 'restricting' the number of posts to display with a query_posts argument in the template. If you are talking about the page that is designated as Front page displays - Posts Page then the template controlling that is likely your theme's index.php.

I wondered if it might be something like that. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing that, though.
Some themes have a setting (via admin panel but separate from Readings setting) that controls that.

Thanks for the help. Thematic has a minimal setting section in the admin panel and that's not one of them.
I have posted a question on the Thematic forum but haven't gotten a response, for some reason.
With no plugins activated, I installed that theme, set the front page to show a static page, set the posts per page to four, visited the "Posts page" and I see four posts per page.

There's no code in the Thematic Theme that would limit the posts per page. I would try deactivating all plugins like MichaelH suggests.

Thanks for the help, guys.
While deactivating the plugins didn't work, after some more tinkering I wondered if it was something else I did. I had created a new page template (home.php) and put it in my child theme (thought I read somewhere I could do that in a child theme, I dunno?).
Anyway, I deleted that page template and that fixed my problem.
Obviously, I'm still wrapping my head around how to use child themes. :-)
