Hi Manda

Indeed it's possible and there are two ways of doing it:

1. Via a plugin

The customquery plugin allows you to change the number of posts on the
home page, and others.

or

2.  Via code directly in your theme.

I use the following in my theme.php to limit the number of posts on my
home page to a value I set in my theme's settings (which are stored as
"__CLASS__.'__option_name' " ):

---
public function act_display_home( $user_filters = array() )
        {
                //To exclude aside tag from main content loop and limit the 
number of posts
                parent::act_display_home( array( 'not:tag' => Options::get(
__CLASS__ . '__aside_tag' ), 'limit' => Options::get( __CLASS__ .
'__front_posts' ) ) );
        }
---

My inspiration came from a combination of the customquery plugin code
and the "asides" wiki page - http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Asides -
which uses a more generic action.  As I was already using a similar
line for asides, I thought I'd just extend it to limit the pages
rather than use a plugin which essentially does just this.
