I'm trying to modify the size of the optional excerpt textarea field in the admin panel. I want the box to be larger. I looked inside edit-form-advanced.php on line 198.
<div class="dbx-content"><textarea rows="1" cols="40" name="excerpt" tabindex="6" id="excerpt"><?php echo $post->post_excerpt ?></textarea></div>
I changed the rows attribute to "6", saved, uploaded. But there's no change. The box stayed the same size. Any advice?
Anyone?
Still needing assistance with this. Anybody know how to make the optional excerpt textarea larger?

Hey guys.
This article right here has the answer:
http://www.optiniche.com/blog/13/change-the-excerpt-box-size-in-the-wordpress-admin-panel/
Basically, you go into the wordpress directory and find wp-admin/wp-admin.css
Then you find the line that says "#excerpt, .attachmentlinks" It's about halfway down; I recommend using the search function.
You change the value of "height: --em;" to your desired height. You have to make a pretty big change for it to be noticable, though.
