no. of circles on the main-page different from no. on category-page

Dear Caroline,

I’m working with wordpress and your beautiful theme for about 2 weeks now and proudly ?? managed to do some changes (child-theme,using firebug, fonts, colors, direct links, background, s.o.) , lots of the stuff that is already explained in the other really helpful support-topics.

Still I have some ideas that I don’t know how to implement:

1. I limited the number of circles/posts on the start-page to 6 (Settings > Reading in my Dashboard). I created a post-category named “projects” an created 10 posts within this category. Now if I open this sub-page “projects” to get an overview on all the existing “project”-posts the number of circles/posts is also limited to 6, like the start-page. What do i have to implement/change to show here all the projects (10 and more)? How can i edit this number of circles separately?

2. Is there a way to control on which of the pages/posts – sides the ‘comment “+” button’ and the ‘widget “+” button’ is shown? E.g: I created a new page that shows my contact-information and I don’t want to have the “comment-button” here, because it doesn’ make sense. Can I inactivate the buttons for single pages/posts or can I just delete it for all my “pages” / all my “posts”?

Thank you very much for your effort!
