[wp-hackers] Limiting # of posts when a category is viewed?

[Jason McIntosh]

The admin option to 10 posts page works ok.  The problem I can foresee, 
and this is more of an interface design, is mixing category and 
archives.  A thought I had was to keep a session var or similar 
(haven't had a chance to go through all the wp code yet) to store the 
selected category.  Then, when clicking through the archives, it would 
display archives only for that category.  With that, I'm going to do 
some mods so the current category is highlighted on selection.  Of 
course, this might need to be an option.  I'm going through the code 
right now, to see what I'd need to do this.
