Set a ?limit=number.
Reason? I only want 10 entries for my RSS summary, but more than that on my main index.

Add a search engine?
Use $url/?search=$term .. and only seach that category.

If I made my whole site blosxom (dynamic), then I'd not be able to serve robots.txt, and possibly other similar files. If there was an option to "overlay" with the $static_dir, and serve pages from $static_dir if they are explicitly refered to, that'd solve my problem.

Got blosxom to derive the date from the filename. Thanks Gus for the mktime() tip.
