 * Is it possible to customize the excerpt (image size, insert specific elements
   like shortcodes in the excerpts)?

 * Hi,
 * Shortcodes are working in the excerpt. As for image size, that remains the same,
   the plugin just extends on the default WordPress excerpt generation functionality.
 * By default WordPress just cuts off the content at 55 words. No options available
   to change that.
 * The plugin allows for more flexibility. You can change the amount of words or
   make it limit by characters instead of words. You can add a “read more” link,
   remove shortcodes, remove HTML elements of your choosing…

 * Ok, thank you! The image size is a big deal for me, so I must learn how to tweak
   the default wp excerpt function I guess 🙂

 * Might be a bit tricky. Excerpt is simply the first part of the main content, 
   it’s not separate ( unless you define a custom excerpt ).
 * Unless you just want it displayed smaller and not load a different size image.
   In that case you can just use CSS. Check the class that holds the excerpt ( varies
   from theme to theme ) and then use:
 * `.the-class img { max-width: 150px; }`
