# Excerpt problem

 * In a category page, an excerpt from each post is displayed, and it ends with […].
   Now that part is not linked at all, and the user has to figure out to click the
   post title to read more. I want to change this […] to “Read more…” and link to
   the complete post.
 * I looked around and found that this comes from formatting.php in /wp-includes/.
   I changed the 55 words limit to 100 words, but I still cannot find an easy way
   to get the […] into a link for the post. Anybody done this before?
