Limit Excerpt Characters

I have to limit the excerpt characters on the Blog page. The code I see on the functions.php file doesn’t seem wrong but it doesn’t work.

// set excerpt length
if (! function_exists (‘delicious_custom_excerpt_length’)) {
function delicious_custom_excerpt_length ($ length) {
return 75;
}
add_filter (‘excerpt_length’, ‘delicious_custom_excerpt_length’, 999);

}

// add excerpt link
if (! function_exists (‘delicious_new_excerpt_more’)) {
function delicious_new_excerpt_more ($ more) {
global $ post;
return ‘… <p class =” readmore ”> ID). ‘”> ’.__ (‘ Read More ’,‘ delicious ’).’ </p> ’;
}
add_filter (‘excerpt_more’, ‘delicious_new_excerpt_more’);
} 

As you can see in the blog page on the posts there is not limited to 75 characters but the whole article is published.
What can it depend on?
