p.1 #1 · my blog is too long!

ok, this is driving me nuts. But my Word Press blog is getting too long. I want it so that my next post starts on a brand new page of entries.

http://martinpaulphotography.com/blog/

I know this has gotta be dead simple to do but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help out?

Thanks,

Martin.

If you have wordpress 2.7 here's the ss of how to limit number of posts:

)

If you have lower than version 2.7 then just find the same menu up but above in the Settings section.

And you currently have 6 posts so if you limit it to 6 the next one will move the first post to the next page and so on...

I made my blog have one post per page - helps load times. Long blogs take a long time to load and can turn people away.

In addition to limiting the number of posts shown you can also insert a "more tag" into each post. Only the information before the more tag will show on the main page. (Alt-Shift-T to insert).

Why don't you try something like Infinite Scroll (http://www.infinite-scroll.com/)?
When the viewer reaches the end of the post, it loads the next one right below it automatically.
