 * When Edin installed on wordpress.com there is an option to specify an excerpt
   of text which is what shows on the front page for the featured images.
 * On self hosted version, there is not an option to specify the excerpt on pages.
 * Is there a way to do this..?

    As you see, there is
   too much text showing for the featured pages – I need to specify what I want 
   to show here.
 * I’m a novice, so simply worded help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 * Hi taratibby – did you figure out how to add an excerpt or do you still need 
   help? I noticed this thread is marked as resolved.
 * If anyone is missing the Excerpt box, you can un-hide it by making sure the Excerpt
   box is checked off under the Screen Options panel at the top of the page:
 * [⌊Edit Page Edin 1 0 7 by Automattic WordPress⌉⌊Edit Page Edin 1 0 7 by Automattic
   WordPress⌉[
 * Let me know if you’re all set.
