The number length of trimmed posts is site wide and found by visiting Administer Post settings (under Content Management header). You cannot change this per content type.
Whether the blog appears on the front page is found in the Administer Content-types page (Under Content Management).
What you can do is download the views module and make a custom teaser view. This would let you control the maximum number of posts independently for that view which would filter only on that content type. That's done in administer views. IT may be that you have views installed already, I can't tell from this post.

Hi there,
I'm using drupal-5.2, and using cck for the overview of the homepage. I want to set up a blog, nothing of blog would be showed on homepage. I want to configure the number of posts on homepage of blog. I can just find 'number of posts on main page' in 'post setting'. I don't want to change the setting. How can I set the number of blog posts and 'length of trimmed posts'?
Thanks,
Huisi
