not a support question

First off, just wanted to say great theme. The back-end is structured very well.
I'm currently trying to set up a home page with the template builder, and I would like to include a blog section, but it by default shows the entire post from a category, instead of the excerpt. Is there any way to change this?
Hey,
you can use the read more tag: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More to create the excerpt.

Thanks for the link. I reviewed this page before I submitted this request. I've given my posts the appropriate <!--more--> marker, and the excerpt function works fine when the page is a standard blog template. However, when it uses the dynamic template builder "Blog" section, it ignores the <!--more--> tag.
This problem should be fixed in the latest version of Brightbox. The includes/helper-templates.php file is missing the $more variable declaration and a $more = 0; in the blog function.
If you're using version 1.1 or below you can update to version 1.2.1 or replace following code in includes/helper-templates.php:
function blog($element)
{
extract($element['saved_value'][0]);
global $avia_config;with:
function blog($element)
{
extract($element['saved_value'][0]);
global $avia_config, $more;And replace:
echo "<div class='template-blog content'>";
get_template_part('includes/loop','index');
with this:
echo "<div class='template-blog content'>";
$more = 0;
get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );
