 * I am trying to add a blog to my existing website. I have created a template to
   look like my site, but i’m haveing issues getting the blog to show approx 10 
   posts per page and also having no luck with sidebar. I have designed several 
   websites but for some reason I am missing something here. I want to add a blog
   with sidebar navigation that shows approx 10 to 20 posts per page. Can someone
   please point me in the correct direction. Below is a link to the page. I am extremely
   new to wordpress I want this to work, so any help would be most appreciated. 
   Oh and by the way I followed a ” tut ” to get this far on my template, so that
   may be the problem.

 * you can set the number under:
    _**dashboard – settings – reading**_ – Blog pages
   show at most [ ] posts
 * > no luck with sidebar…
   >  I am extremely new to wordpress …
 * start by reading:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)
 * and ‘disect’ a few free themes to see how they’re doing it…

 * Still does not work for my main template page where I want the entries to show.
   I posted 7 bogus comments and they dont show unless you click where it says 7
   comments and then it takes you to another page.

 * I will go read the link you added. I really hope I can figure out if I have a
   prob with code or what other issue I may have

 * yes – that is the default behaviour for index pages.
 * it can be overwritten, but you really need to know your WordPress coding, and
   it is also not recommended.

 * I appreciate the help. I guess I will just delete it then, because it’s worthless
   to me if I cant have multiple entries on the main blog page. I’m sorry but that
   just does not make any sence.If thats the case, this has been a big waste of 
   time and does not help me in any way. Thanks for trying.
