Yeah, that max parameter is called num_entries in py dict.

This is a limitation that should be addressed by a template (it's the
template problem domain). But the only thing is that blosxom templates
are not that powerful to do such things.

Why templates, well if you expect a large number of entries, you will
need to do an index template, for an index template, it'll be light on
the bandwidth.

Another thing we could consider is to have a <prev and a next> page
thingy. First time you'll see an entry overflow, you'll have something
like pyblosxom.cgi/category?page=n, which then causes pyblosxom to
display (num_entries * n) to (num_entries * n + (num_entries - 1))

What do you think? Of course, this would need a page plugin thingy that
takes in an entryList, and modifies it to display the proper entries.
