I started with 7 which I think is the default amount for blogspot. I am now down to only 4 because my blog was loading slower than I liked so I wanted to have less to load. I don't think there is one right amount, a lot depends on the length of your posts.

Interesting question Shynea. I am interested to see what other bloggers choose to do on their sites.

I think I have seven on my main page. I want there to be a variety to topics and posts when a new visitor stops by on my front page, but I don't want the page to take forever to load. I am not always likely to look through posts that aren't on the main page the first time I visit a blog, I usually check out what is on the first page and decide if I am interested enough to come back.

I have ten posts on my front page. I'll have to keep an eye out on the loading issue though. If it starts to be a problem, I'll decrease the amount.

I have 5 on mine, and that's a lot since I write a lot, most of the time. But soemtimes, I don't, and this makes it so that I don't have the neverending sidebar but no content.

I have 7 I think. They are often photo heavy and not having the fastest connection in the world myself I hesitate to add more & slow up the load time.
