Fix not working feed display for home settings public view. Modify blog javascript so that we can define how many feed entries we want to display. Change default number of entries to 3 as suggested by Leslie and Chris. Patch by: Pawel Solyga

"""
Functions for working with "safe strings": strings that can be displayed safely
without further escaping in HTML. Marking something as a "safe string" means
that the producer of the string has already turned characters that should not
be interpreted by the HTML engine (e.g. '<') into the appropriate entities.
