## Description

Automatically turn all posts into excerpts of 300 characters and add a “Show More”
link that will load directly in the page. If your post includes a picture, it will
also obtain a thumbnail and place that at the beginning of the excerpt. Supports
Infinite Scroll, too (assuming you manually enabled it on your P2 site)!

 * Shorter posts will be left alone, unless they have a picture
 * Posts with a picture will always be turned into a thumbnail/excerpt
 * Expanding or contracting a post will scroll to the top of the post

Planned:

 * Long posts with embedded video and no image include the video in the excerpt
 * Change the character length from the admin screen

## Installation

    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

## FAQ

  Infinite Scrolling isn’t working on my P2 site

You’ll need to enable it manually. This plugin won’t do that for you.
