page_size in blog app

[Eric Ishii Eckhardt]

I am setting up some example projects to get familiar with Basic Apps
and was having a problem with the blog app.

When i load the index page I get an error page. Saying this:
TypeError at /blog/
float() argument must be a string or a number

Now I have a settings object configured through the admin but it
doesn't seem to find the value i entered for "Page Size".
I have the settings configured to the current site. I tested it out by
hard coding the page_size variable in the views.py and everything
works fine when i do that.

So is there a setup step i missed to get the site-settings object to
be read from inside the blog?
