   Hello,

   In WP 2.7, there's a section in the editor to enter your own excerpt. I'm trying to write up an if/else statement whereby when that is empty, just grab a certain length from post; otherwise use the excerpt.

   This is used in correspondence with "Thumbnail For Excerpts".

   And this is what I have in mind, with the assumption that excerpt_length is the default value for that section in the WP 2.7 editor.

   //if('excerpt_length'=0)
   add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
   function my_excerpt_length($length) {
   return 10; // Or whatever length applicable
   }
   //else('excerpt_length')

   Thank you for your help.
