I would just make a new template for the home page. You could copy the code from the index.php file into a new PHP file and save it as home.php in your theme folder. Then add:

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

right before this:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

That would limit the page to only displaying two posts. You could also add the code you need to link to the “blog” page.

I’ve been trying to figure this out for weeks. This explains a lot.

Is there any other way to set the length for a hard coded the_excerpt(); function?

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to figure this out from your first code for awhile. I’m still a PHP novice. Slowly learning. 🙂

How could I edit this PHP to be used with the “wp_list_bookmarks” function? I’d like to list the links and throw a ” | ” between each one.

This is what I’ve tried so far. It will list the bookmarks correctly, but for some reason doesn’t insert the ” | ” between them:

<?php $links = wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&sort_column=menu_order');
								  foreach($links as $i => $page)
								  $links[$i] = '<li><a href="' . link_url($page->ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('link_name', $page->link_name)) . '">' . apply_filters('link_name', $page->link_name) . '</a></li>';

								  echo implode('<span class="divider"> | </span>', $links); ?>

Thanks for the help.
