 * Hi there. Just thought of another idea… would it be possible to include an excerpt?
   And maybe like other short codes, also allow a character count for the excerpt?
 * Just a thought. Thanks!

 * thanks for the suggestion ocfusa.
 * I’m sorry the WordPress forum doesn’t seem to be emailing me when someone posts.
   Or possibly it is going into my spam. I will look into fixing the notifications.

 * Ruth you marked this as resolved does that mean there is an option for this? 
   I’m not seeing it in the documentation. I haven’t looked in the code yet but 
   might be nice to document it if it’s available.
 * Thanks

 * The plugin now includes an excerpt and thumbnail
 *  [ecs-list-events excerpt=’true’] //displays excerpt with length 100
    [ecs-list-
   events excerpt=’300′] //displays excerpt with length 300
 * [ecs-list-events thumb=’true’] //displays post thumbnail in default thumbnail
   dimension from media settings.
    [ecs-list-events thumb=’true’ thumbwidth=’150′
   thumbheight=’150′] //to modify the thumbnail dimensions
