# Custom excerpts

 * I am using the following, very simple code:
 *     ```
       <?php the_title(); ?>
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Now on my template I have a large box where this works perfectly, shows the title,
   shows the thumbnail and the excerpt with the read more link. However, I also 
   have smaller boxes on the same page where I want to display other excerpts without
   the featured image, i.e just the title and text.
 * I have searched for an answer, but everyone seems to want to add the image, I
   can get the image to go away. Also, because the larger box uses the default, 
   I would need to add a custom excerpt to handle the display of the smaller boxes.
 * Any ideas?
