I'd like to change a blog from past seven days showing to past seven entries. This is for a blog that is only updated 1 or 2 times a month...

any ideas?

thanks

Can you do the same thing with archives? I would like to limit the amount of archive items to the last 5 from each catagory.

In the Category Archive pages? Sure, just add in the lastn="n" attribute as above. If you mean in an archive list, you'll need to post the code you are currently using, or describe your set up.

Like to limit how many entries this produces.

CODE

<div class="sidetitle">
Catagories:
</div>
<div class="side">
<MTCategories>
<a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a><br>
<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryTitle$>
</MTEntries>
<br /><br />
</MTCategories>
</div>

Thanks,

Lee

Yeah, you should be able to just go ahead and add in the lastn="n" attribute to that MTEntries tag in there, like:

CODE

<div class="sidetitle">
Catagories:
</div>
<div class="side">
<MTCategories>
<a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a><br>
<MTEntries lastn="5">
<$MTEntryTitle$>
</MTEntries>
<br /><br />
</MTCategories>
</div>
