 In WordPress Settings -> Reading, for the setting "Blog pages show at
 most".

 When a single blog post is set to sticky using the "stick to the top of
 the blog" setting on the blog post edit page, the "Blog pages show at
 most" setting is respected.

 However, when TWO blog posts are set as sticky, then the "Blog pages show
 at most" setting is NOT respected, and an extra post gets shown on the
 home page.

 For example, if your "Blog pages show at most" setting is set to 6, and
 you then make 2 blog posts sticky, then your home page will show 7 posts.
