 * This plugin (out of many dozens tried) is a wonderful time saver, and is super
   easy to set up.
 * Especially helpful when you are aggregating RSS feeds from many places, and want
   to replace the external image URLs with local ones.
 * All I need is for the post excerpt (saved to the wp_posts DB table) to also contain
   the “imported” URL. It still includes the original external URL.

 * Thanks for the good review!
 * I’ve explained why we can’t process excerpts (which are normally text-only) in
   your support thread here.
 * However, if your theme uses Featured Images on the home page, you could run the
   Image Teleporter, and then use another plugin to take the first image in every
   post and make it automatically the Featured Image. That would allow you to show
   an image with each excerpt on your home page.
 * I’ve done this two-step process myself on sites for my clients, and it’s worked
   very well.
