 * I’m looking for assistance in customizing the format/look of this page:
    [http://civilwargovernors.org/category/featured-article/](http://civilwargovernors.org/category/featured-article/)
 * “News” in the top nav is coded to pull all posts tagged “featured article” and
   works the way I thought it would.
 * However, is there a way to customize or tweak how the blog posts appear on the
   page?
 * What I would like to do is post only excerpts of the blogs rather than the entire
   blog.
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

 * WordPress adds custom classes and ID’s to just about everything, so you can target
   the posts on that page with something like this:
 * `.archive article {style elements here;}`
 * You’ll need to play around with the selectors, probably depending on what you
   want to change.
 * I don’t think 2011 offers a custom css option, so you’ll want to do this in a
   child theme.
