 * I apologize if this is an easy solution, I’ve been searching the forum for hours
   with no luck.
 * I want to set up my tag page (and category) to show 5 excerpts regarding the 
   tag/category clicked followed by the next or previous link. I currently have 
   the main index of my blog showing a full post so I’m a little confused as to 
   how to accomplish this. I have no problems showing the one excerpt but was hoping
   someone knew how to display more then one.
 * Thanks

 * Ill try this again and try to make it clearer
 * Index Page: This currently is set in the admin options to display just one post
   which it does on my opening page.
 * Category/Tag Page: Essentially I want the 5 latest posts with only its excerpts
   showing following by the previous/next link. Im needing help on how (if its possible)
   to display the 5 most recent posts related to either the current category or 
   tag without changing it in teh admin interface because that will screw up my 
   main page.

 * When you set things up for one post per page, it’s one post per page on the index,
   archives, search results, etc., so I guess there is no _easy_ sollution. I suppose
   it’s possible if you hardcode the number of posts in the index.php, archive.php,
   etc., but I’m not the person to talk you through that. There are several threads
   about limiting the number of posts displayed using PHP, so perhaps you can light
   your candle in such threads.

 * Ok thanks, Ill check some out, I could understand using a loop I just dont know
   how it would effect or work it into such things as the previous/next link.

 * CQS = custom query string plugin is the easy solution.
