I'd love to have just the 8 newest postings on my homepage.
I can't find a way how to do so. Changing wordpress reading settings to 8 doesn't work.
Hope somebody can help.

Thanks,

Are you talking about the "Recent Posts" box?

Hi Darren,

no, not the recent post box. Everything's okay with that.

I mean the number of posts in the middle column of the homepage.
There are 11 right now - and I'd like to change the number to 8 so that there's not so much scrolling down to the bottom of the page.

Greetings,

Well, the middle column is for categories, and within each category are 4 posts. You can easily limit/adjust which categories display by editing the Mimbo Pro Options panel ("Custom Category Summaries"). Or, are you wanting to limit the number of posts within each category box?

thanks, Darren.

Well, I have 4 categories - and I'd really like to show them all on the homepage.
So that's 16 posts altogether on the homepage? Too many in my opinion - I think I'd like to limit the number of posts within the categories.
Hope you can help me doing that...

thanks,
kurt

Are you using a child theme for your customizations? If so, go ahead and copy over index.php from the parent theme, go to line 118 and change this -

showposts=4

to something like 

showposts=1
