WP Plugin: Diff. posts per page

I have recently come across this WordPress plugin that allows administrators to set a different number of posts between the home and category pages. And I think it may benefit some wandering souls out there looking for such a solution. So here’s the plugin:

To be continued…

Hi,

for those who have visited this space before, thank you for dropping by in again. And yes, this blog has been revamped. I will no longer be posting up nonsensical entries. This blog will still remain largely for my own personal web space. But instead of a blog about almost anything, I will now focus more on entries that can help with my mental stimulation.

I have saved some of the better entries of 2007 (not many of them).
And unfortunately, due to other commitments, I will not be able to add anything new for quite a long while.

Anyway, thank you again, you rock!
