Answered Limit number of posts pulled from blog

I am pulling posts from Articles to be posted on my homepage, but I would like to limit it to 2 posts pulled. Make sense?

I am using this (unless someone has a better, cleaner way):
```
[[!getResources?
  &tpl=`Homepage.ArticleRowTpl`
  &parents=`11`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &processTVs=`1`
  &tvPrefix=``
]]
```
This will pull all of the Articles, if I am not mistaken.

I am pretty new, as you might have guessed, so cut me some idiot slack. Thanks in advance.

Just add this:
```
&limit=`2`
```
You may also want to add a &sortby property so you have some control over which two are retrieved. If you use this, you'll get the most recently created ones:
```
&sortby=`createdon`
```
This will give you the two most recently published ones:
```
&sortby=`publishedon`
```
This will give you two random ones:
```
&sortby=`RAND()`
```
