I tried the following code to reduce the number of posts on my home page- it worked but it also reduced the number of posts on the page I have turned the blog template on (basically the same function as "settings > reading"). Is there a way to tell the home page 1 post only?
function single_post_on_homepage() { if(is_home()) { ?>
<?php query_posts("showposts=1"); ?>
<?php } }
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop','single_post_on_homepage');
do you want to reduce the number of posts per page or reduce/limit the total number of posts returned (by default it returns every post)
see this post for how to mod the query

set your new params as $new
limit to max 5 posts:
$new = array('numberposts' => 5);
limit to 5 posts per page:
$new = array('posts_per_page' => 5);

Thanks Helga-
I just want 2 posts on the front page and then I want 5 to show up on the "blog" page that has the blog template applied.
I'll give this a shot and see what I can make happen.

I tried it and it's doing the same as before- 5 posts on the front page and 5 posts on the blog page.
Any suggestions?
also try duplicating template-blog.php into your child theme. you can adjust the query params directly there b/c that page template doesn't have a thematic_above_indexloop() hook
and do check your reading settings in the WP dash.
