   I'm loving feed2post (what's not to love? It works exactly as described! I'm looking for a way to force excerpts, though, and not getting very far. The particular feed I'm dealing with isn't a WordPress feed (it's Moveable Type) and doesn't include the teasers separately. I'd rather cut posts at the end of the first paragraph than run the whole entire post on the front page, even if it does come out looking wonky.

   Anyone had any luck with this?

   If you must know ... here's my feed: http://www.pbs.org/idealab/rss2/amanda-hickman.xml

   That was easier than I expected. Here's how I handled it the_excerpt-reloaded in my theme (where "feed_cat" is the category that feed2post posts are in):

   <?php
     if(in_category('feed_cat') && is_home()) {
       the_excerpt_reloaded(120,'<p><a><img>','excerpt',TRUE,'Continue reading »');
      } else {
       the_content('Continue reading »');
      }
   ?>
