   I've got a recent posts widget on my sidebar and it is showing 5 posts. I would like to be able to show a few more and the support information found at http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/recent-posts-widget/ seems to imply that I should be able to change it. I am using the Andreas09 theme. Is this a limit imposed by the theme or is this a bug?

   Thanks you in advance for your time and help. :)

   The blog I need help with is yardvilleheightspta.wordpress.com.

   On other themes we are able to configure the Recent Posts widget to display up to 15 entries.
   In Andreas09 when we open the widget and find this:

   There are no options for this widget.
   Delete | Close

   IMO it's no great loss as very few bloggers choose to display more than 6 posts on their front pages because readers simply won't scroll for miles and miles.

   Thanks for the information. I suspected that was the case.

   By the way, I want to thank you for all the great answers you've given other people that I've had help me as I've looked things up here on the forums. You're a treasure.
