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

[Jason McIntosh]

Hmm, I just installed the plugin from jennifer at hipmonkey.com and it 
works pretty well on restricting the number of posts per page.  I 
believe it'll be included with the main wp distribution later.  So, 
that works pretty well for what I was looking for.  Although, I still 
think I'll go through and play around with the interface with regards 
to archives and categories, see if I can figure something out there.
Thanks all!
Jason
