4,To set the number of post showed in pages :
This template use numbered pagination script ,so you have to set number of posts per page in pagination script
Go to Blogger Dashboard ->Settings ->Formatting
in the box Show at most ....on the main page you will see the number of post showed in the main page . For example ,in the picture bellow ,the number of post in main page is 6

You can set another number .
Now ,back to template file ,find this code

<script type="text/javascript">
                                         var pageNaviConf = {
                                             perPage: 2,
                                             numPages: 2,
                                             firstText: "First",
                                             lastText: "Last",
                                             nextText: "Next",
                                             prevText: "Prev"
                                             }
                                     </script>

And change the value of perPage variable from 2 to the number we set at Show at most ...on the main page box .If we set the number of post in main page in Show at most ... on the main page 6 ,change the value of perPage from 2 to 6 .
Why we need this step ? To make sure the number of post per page exactly as we set . If you skip this step ,number of post on homepage is the number we set at Show at most ... box ,but click on the next page ,the number of post is only 2 (the value we set in perPage ) .
