 * Hi.
 * Trying to figure out why the length of the introductory paragraph for the recent/
   featured blog posts is not consistent. Sometimes there’s a
 * The introduction appear at the bottom left of my site. Any way in CSS to force
   a certain number of sentences so each introduction is consistent in length?

 * To clarify my question above. The length of my featured recent posts is not consistent
   on the home page.
 * This is causing the “Read More” buttons to be mis-aligned due to the varied length
   of the post.
 * How do I force the length of the posts that are appearing on the Home Page to
   be consistent?

 * Hi,
 * You can try using a crafted excerpt instead of the auto generated excerpt. Using
   crafted excerpt, you can enter the same amount of text for excerpt for every 
   post.
 * In your **WordPress admin -> Edit Post** Look for the metabox named Excerpt
 * Thanks!

 * I don’t see the Excerpt option. I do have the latest version of Evolve. Any other
   suggestions?
 * I have searched this forum and see some other suggestions. Just don’t know which
   one to go with.
 * The one I tried earlier instructed me to update functions.php. It crashed my 
   site.

 * I hope I don’t embarrass myself by asking…where do I find **WordPress admin**,
   and then the metabox? Thank you.

 * Cleanfleets,
 * I don’t see the Excerpt choice either. Admin is your Dashboard. I expected to
   to see Excerpt Metabox when I chose to edit a post. I’m thinking it needs to 
   be “crafted” for each post as you create one.
 * [@denzel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel/), can you clarify this 
   for us?

 * Found the answer in the above link. You need to click on Screen Options at the
   top right when in Edit Post Mode. There you will see “Excerpt”. Check the box.
   Now you will see an Excerpt metabox beneath the area where you edit the post.
 * Enter you excerpt works there.
