That first problem I can’t help you with, that’s a CSS thing which is not my speciality.
As for the excerpt plugin, it might help if you told us which plugin this concerns.
Is it ‘my’ plugin?
I’ve tested it extensively at home (I admit, not a real test), but it could be that the_excerpt has been rewritten completely in your themes’ functions.php
Try to find something like
remove_filter('get_the_excerpt','some_function');
in that file if it exists.

To be absolutely complete: the default the_excerpt() should only display the first 55 words of a post, or whatever is in the excerpt.
If it doesn’t, the the_excerpt() has been modified (or isn’t used at all, of course, but I’m sure you checked).
Peter
The plugin in question is the wpexcerpt plugin provided to me by Peter.
The site displays the content in full, however underneath lies the excerpt. I just want the excerpt, a picture, and the read more quote to be displayed on my front page. How do I fix this?

Can you show us your index.php (via pastebin)?
disclaimer: Peter wrote that plugin himself, just for the occasion, it’s by no means a registered (or original for that matter) plugin, and described here.

I’ve just downloaded the vita theme (which is what you’re apparently using), and found that the original theme contains
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry →'); ?>.
Did you by any change add the_excerpt(); to it?
It’s meant to replace the_content();
like:
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Peter
Thank you for your continued help, I have found great results with your words of wisdom but I have another question.
Now that the excerpts work, there are no pictures on my front page. How do I place the picture (from the actual post) next to the excerpt?
I saw that one coming, and I was thinking about a solution involving custom fields, but a little search brought me to this plugin.
See if it does what you want.
Peter
Incredible. Mission accomplished.
Looks great, if I may add.
