Well I have successfully changed the number of posts displayed on the front page, however now I need to change the excerpt boxes. I would like to offset them so that they do not cover the same posts as those already on the page. I have a feeling I know what to change, but with the speed of replies I have seen here I figure it's safer to ask the creator ;)

Ok. Its pretty simple.
Just add this
<?php query_posts('offset=003'); ?>after line 23 in index.php which says
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
Note that the above example assumes you have 3 posts on index page and rest in excerpts. You can increase the number offset=003 accordingly.
Hope this helps.

That did the trick.
Thanks for the help!
the only other question I have is. how is the number of excerpts controlled?
Thanks for providing the theme and responding to all of our questions here so quickly!

The posts viewed on the main page and the number of excerpts make up to the total number of posts you want to view in the wp-admin -> options -> reading. You can control it by going there.

Hi Jai,
Great theme. Thanks for taking the time not only to build it but also to support it. I've been reading through the forum and have been very impressed with the time you spend helping people use your theme.
I'd like to revert the posts page back to the normal wordpress post view (one above the next). You know what I mean? So all posts look like the first post, instead of being in the little boxes. Thanks for any help you can give.

Ever since I put in the offset the Older Entries link that is below the excerpts loads the same 4 posts for each older entries page.
The older Entries works just fine when surfing a category.
Also if you search and hit older entries it brings you back to page2 instead of continuing the search.
Anyway to remove the excerpts? I commented them out and it worked fine in Firefox but IE didn't like it at all.
