Blosxom lets you determine how many entries to show on a page (by setting the $num_entries configuration variable).  This site is configured to show 10 pages at a time.  This works when you view the main page or any of the categories (via the links in the Categories boxlet); if you view by date (via the links in the Calendar boxlet), the limit is ignored.  This allows you to view, for example, all October posts at once.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you want to view all posts in the <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/WebDev\">WebDev<\/a> category?  At the time of this posting, that category contains 34 entries.  But if you go to that category you only see the first 10.  Of course, you can navigate sub-categories and see more, or view all posts (regardless of category) a month at a time, but Blosxom provides no way to jump to the <em>next 10<\/em> (or 20, or however your site is configured) posts.  Until now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just written a plugin for blosxom called <strong>moreentries<\/strong> to do this.  It&#8217;s in place now on this site.  Scroll to the bottom of the page to see a link to the next 10 entries (assuming you are viewing the <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/\">weblog homepage<\/a>).  If you click the link, you&#8217;ll notice the next page tells you you are viewing entries 11 to 20, and the bottom of the page will have Next and Previous links.  This also works within categories (those with more that 10 entries, of couse).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be posting the plugin to this site, and to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blosxom.com\/plugins\" title=\"Blosxom.com Plugin Registry\">plugin<\/a> registry, later today.  It&#8217;s still undergoing some additional testing.  In the meantime, try out the new feature, and let me know what you think.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One limitation of Blosxom, the blogging software this site is run on, is how it handles a large number of entries.
