 * I can’t find the page where I replace “the_content();” with “the_excerpt();”,
   so I can make the posts display shorter on my homepage.
    Is there another way?
   Can you help me?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * I’d like to know how to do this as well. Would sure be nice if this theme just
   added a few simple options, like this one, as well as applying the full-width
   template to the home/index page, single posts, etc. Just a few little things 
   like that would keep it simple, but make it just a little more customizeable.
