I've seen it on some templates, can't recall where off the top of my head. I would go to a WP template site and download one that has it (it's usually in the format of category name (postnumber)). Once you have the template, just take a look at the code to see which variable they're using and use it anyway you like.

Oooh, can you do that? Great, I was just thinking of trying that. The codex probably has the info...

Yeah, showposts=1 in query posts seems to do it.

You can add a custom template by dropping a file called category-n.php (where n is the category you want to use) and put query posts in the loop

So take category 12 , copy archive.php and put in <?php query_posts ("cat=12&showposts=5"); ?> and call it category-12.php and it will show 5 posts (I just tinkered with it, you have to repeat the category in query posts because it overrides the info provided by the url string, there's probably a better way to do it but this works)

All the other categories use the default template
