micadzI would like all my posts to cut off at the same point under featured and the same under latest posts. Can I do that with excerpt? If yes, can I specify two different cut off points (one for the posts under featured and one for the post uner latest posts?). Also, I already have the continued reading option ... do I have to replace that with excerpt to make it work? http://commonpeople.sg/
