 * Hi great theme here,
    just wondering is there a way to limit the word count of
   preview on the main page? I want to reduce it to like only 10 words on the preview

 * You might try adding …
 *     ```
       function xsfb_excerpt_length( $length ) {
       	return 10;
       }
       add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'xsfb_excerpt_length' );
       ```
   
 * … to your functions.php

 * gWorlds, I believe that is exactly what 213edu was looking for. I’ll mark this
   topic as resolved.
