Change to wp_trim_excerpt()

I ported my blog from CityDesk, where I used excerpts with each article. But in WordPress 2.0, excerpts are indistinguishable from short articles. (Fake excerpts can be distinguished because the […] characters are appended.) So on an archive page, users don’t know whether they’re looking at a complete short article, or a manual excerpt if there’s no […].

That’s why I had to modify wp_trim_excerpt like so:

function wp_trim_excerpt($text) {
global $post;
if ( '' == $text ) {
... (same)
}
else
$text = $text . ' [...]';
return $text;
}

There may be others who migrate to WordPress who find themselves in similar shoes, wishing their excerpts wouldn’t look exactly like short articles.
