   If you go to your administration page, click on OPTIONS - READING and check out the options that area gives you. You can limit your front page to be a static page or show at most, 1 post which will be your most recently published post.

   But this also affects my category pages.

   Well, you could specify your homepage to show a static page that you created which wouldn't effect your category pages and the number of posts shown.

   Isn't there an other option like the category_name statement but then specified for the homepage? Maybe the is_home statement?

   There is a new home page function that has been added to WordPress 2.5 but is not available in in earlier versions. It's called is_front but has already undergone some changes.

   Introduction of a new template tag is_front() which is only true on the front page of a WordPress install (#3682).

   Renaming of is_front() to is_front_page() to avoid conflict with bbPress.

   Anyways, might want to give that is_front_page a search in the codex and see what to do.

   Is this what you mean? My blog has two posts on the homepage http://lepixelshoppe.com/scrap4dollars

   I used this line instead of the usual get header line of code:

   <?php get_header(); query_posts('posts_per_page=2'); ?>

   Change 2 to what ever number of posts you want to display. It doesn't change my categories or archives.
