 * in the category section of my blog i use the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> function.
 * The text that is before the “more” tag in my post is showing up perfectly but
   the images that are before the “more” tag in my posts are not appearing.
 * is there a way to use the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> and have the pictures displayed?

 * Write a custom excerpt in the Optional Excerpt field, under the post edit box.
   It can be as short, or as long, as you wish and can include images.

 * svenke,
 * Another option is to stop using the_excerpt and upload the limit-posts plugin.
   This helps to avoid writing the post twice.
