 * I can’t find out where to edit the entry summary or excerpt in the boxes on the
   home page. Any ideas? [http://gilesdixon.com](http://gilesdixon.com)
    Thanks

 * If you don’t see the meta box for excerpts on your pages, click the Screen Options
   tab at the top right and make sure it’s checked off:
