 * I can’t get the “excerpt” to work, but I see this was added in version 1.5.0?
   I have version 1.6.0 installed at the moment. Is there a special way to make 
   the excerpt work?

 * Hi,
 * Could you specify your problem? Is it the admin or the frontend you’re having
   problems with?
 * Displaying the excerpt is working just fine for me using either [the_excerpt()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt)
   or [get_the_excerpt()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_excerpt)
   in the template.
 * However, the excerpt is not currently supported for the widget, but I’ll probably
   add that in the next version.
