I know I can use the more tag... but I'd really like to write a custom excerpt for a post and not use more tags (so that on my blog page the user sees the entire post).</p> <p>Excellent template... worth every penny and very well thought out.</p> <p>Also - OT - your forum software is great - what did you use? </p>
