 * Hi
 * The formatting of posts (e.g. bold, line breaks) do not show up on the excerpts
   that are on the front page. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

 * I was able to use this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/rich-text-excerpts/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/rich-text-excerpts/)
 * It seems to be working though I have not tested it across all browsers
