I prefer to keep the end of my content column closely inline with the end of my sidebar column. I started with 8 posts on the front page, but since I removed the category listing from my sidebar, I reduced the count to 7 posts.

James & Matt,

Ten is a fine number, and your content column is perfectly inline with the bottom of your sidebar column! (At least it is in my browser’s view.)

I agree, 10 looks fine with the sidebar on my end too (using FF on a 19″ LCD).

That’s an interesting idea. Do you think reader’s would really care to choose page size?
