 * How would I add some extra padding around the excerpt? With multiple columns 
   the text of one excerpt almost runs into the excerpt of the next. Or maybe what
   I’m looking for is spacing between the columns.

 * Can you give me a link? This way I can make sure I help you with the CSS exactly
   what you are wanting?

 * The link is jumpjammies.com. There is a sample on the home page of 4 items. I
   would like about 10px of separation between one item and the next.

 * Try doing this where ever you can add Custom CSS in your theme:
 * .4-column .owl-carousel .owl-item {padding:10px;}

 * Thanks, it didn’t work when I added it to the Custom CSS but worked perfect when
   I added the padding to the plugin’s CSS.

 * Oops, needed to set both parameters so that the last line of the excerpt would
   display fully. padding: 3px 10px; worked best for me. Thanks again. Love the 
   plugin.
