 * In that theme’s footer.php this seems to control the Recent Posts:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
       ```
   
 * This seems to control the Recent Comments:
 *     ```
       <?php if (function_exists('src_simple_recent_comments')) { src_simple_recent_comments(5, 60, '<h4>Recent Comments</h4>', ''); } ?>
       ```
   
 * Hint–changing the number 5 in both those seems to be what you want.
