Pagination loop issue

    I have the reading settings in the admin set to only show 2 posts. I also have a query in the global loop to exclude some categories:

    query_posts("&cat=-179,-4,-70,-19" ); This query will be on the front page

    and I’m trying to continue that loop on other pages because I only want that those specific posts to show and I want more than just two to show. So the code is:

    query_posts($query_string . "&posts_per_page=10" );

    Now what is happening is the frontpage works, however it seems to always get screwed up during the pagination. What am I doing wrong?

    Here is the simplistic version of the code:

    <?php if ( $paged < 2 ) { // Do stuff specific to first page?>

<?
query_posts("&cat=-179,-4,-70,-19" );
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<? } else { ?>

<?

query_posts($query_string . "&posts_per_page=10" );
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<? } ?>

    Here is an article I wrote with a code example of how to implement a short first page.

    Thanks that actually did help.

    For anyone else with the same or similar issue, I had to customize it around my paging code as so:

    <?php
 $max_first_page = 2;  // Show this many posts on front page
      $args = $wp_query->query;
      $args['caller_get_posts'] = 1; // Using stickies messes up the count
      $args['cat'] = '-179,-4,-70,-19';
      $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
      $posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page');
      $posts_to_skip = $posts_per_page - $max_first_page;
      if ($page == 1) {
         $max_posts = $max_first_page;
      } else {
         $max_posts = $posts_per_page;
         $args['offset'] = (($page - 1) * $max_posts)- $posts_to_skip;
      }
      query_posts($args);
      if ($wp_query->max_num_pages < ceil(($wp_query->found_posts + $posts_to_skip)/$posts_per_page))
        ++$wp_query->max_num_pages;
      $counter = 0;
      ?>

<? if ( $paged < 2 ) { // Do stuff specific to first page?>

while (have_posts()) : the_post();
         if (++$counter > $max_posts) continue;

<? the_title(); ?>
		<br/>
<? endwhile; } else { ?>

<? while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if (++$counter > $max_posts) continue; ?>

<? the_title(); ?>
			<br/>
<? endwhile; } ?>
