It could be the thermostat, or it could be your heater core. It seems like this is a common issue with the s10.
First you should find out if the hose for radiator fluid going to the heater core is actually hot or not. If both hoses are not hot, then you have a problem. It might be a blockage to the heater core. You'll have to check and see, but be careful you don't scauld the hell out of your hands.
If you notice that the hose going in is not hot, it may be possible to flush out a blockage using your garden hose (but again, don't burn yourself). But be sure that this is actually the problem before you do anything. If you aren't sure, then visit a mechanic.
If you do decide to flush your radiator, heed the warnings that these guys have noted: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you're double checking your thermostat, this might be helpful also
