   Hello all, I understand that WP makes a "fake" excerpt if one has not been input by the user. I have a fairly basic and seemingly simple question;

   I need to be able to surround that "fake" excerpt with a <div id="blah">the_excerpt</div> block of code. If the user has input a "real" excerpt, it should not have the <div id="blah"> surrounding it, it should simply be the_excerpt (div-less)...

   I hope this makes sense, and that it is possible!

   Thank you for any help.

   A hacked mashup I think, but it works :)

   If anyone has a more streamlined solution I'd be very thankful.

   if ($post->post_excerpt == "") {
       echo '<div id="blah">';
       the_excerpt();
       echo '</div>';
   }
   else {
       the_excerpt();
   }
