 * Hi, I am a first time website builder. I am using a “grid” format for Blog archives
   with automatic excerpts. How do I append “…..” after the automatic excerpt? Else
   the display looks strange stopping half way through a sentence
 * Here’s a link to the blog archive page

 * Hi [@s2e](https://wordpress.org/support/users/s2e/)
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * The regular excerpt […] is there but hidden by a static excerpt height. We’ll
   need to resolve with Custom CSS. If you’re using Vantage Premium you can go to
   Appearance > Custom CSS. If you’re using Vantage Free, go to Plugins > Add New
   and install a plugin called Simple Custom CSS, then go to Appearance > Custom
   CSS and insert:
 *     ```
       /* Grid Loop Excerpt */
   
       .vantage-grid-loop article .excerpt {
       height: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can leave the above as is or change the `auto` value to a fixed height. Right
   now it’s set at 2.5em.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi Mispion,
 * This worked! after some trial and error I was able to get the manual excerpt 
   to rightly fit into the excerpt height – thanks for your help
