I see. Thanks Michael, I will do it.
If anyone does know of a good plugin, feel free to suggest here.

You can limit the number of words by using the ‘More’ button when editing a post. (Everything below the more button will not be shown unless you click more).
Or use plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-limit-posts-automatically/
Setting, Reading, Blog pages show at most ___ posts.
Change that number, should work.
Just for future reference, php’s mysql_query *always* returns a resource. So you will always need to use another function (eg mysql_fetch_array, mysql_fetch_assoc, mysql_fetch_object, mysql_fetch_row, etc.) to get the values.
I believe a link to your blog would be helpful to potential helpers
