   I have my home page set to show 5 posts. What I'm trying to do is make the paged pages (previous posts) show 20 posts per page. Nothing I do works. Any ideas? Thanks in advance :o)

   It is a little tricky, but the code below works in the default theme:

   <?php $max_first_page = 3;  // Show this many posts on front page
         $args = $wp_query->query;
         $args['caller_get_posts'] = 1; // Using stickies messes up the count
         $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
         $posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page');
         $posts_to_skip = $posts_per_page - $max_first_page;
         if ($page == 1) {
            $max_posts = $max_first_page;
         } else {
            $max_posts = $posts_per_page;
            $args['offset'] = (($page - 1) * $max_posts)- $posts_to_skip;
         }
         query_posts($args);
         if ($wp_query->max_num_pages < ceil(($wp_query->found_posts + $posts_to_skip)/$posts_per_page))
           ++$wp_query->max_num_pages;
         $counter = 0;
         ?>
      <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
         <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php if (++$counter > $max_posts) continue; ?>
                // Rest of the loop

   Note: Set Admin->Settings->Reading->'Blog pages show at most' to the number to show on pages other than the first.
