 * Is here a way to have say the links in a post stay active? right now it strips
   out the link and is just text.
    i believe it has to do with this line in featured-
   category-posts.php $rcstthec = strip_tags($rcsample); when i add , ‘‘ like so:
   $rcstthec = strip_tags($rcsample, ‘‘); the links work, BUT then the excerpt doesnt
   show up.
 * Anyone have any ideas/fixes?
