 * There’s an option to update the ‘More’ text but it prints ‘Continue reading –
   >’ anyway. That can’t be right 😛
 * If that was fixed & and an excerpt length cap was added this would be a 5 star
   plug-in.

 * Does “Continue Reading” appear in the sidebar, or at the end of the excerpt in
   the main body of the page? If it’s in the sidebar, then it has something to do
   with the plugin. If not, it’s generated by the theme. For example, in the Twenty
   Ten loop.php file, you’ll see this line:
    `<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading
   <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>`
 * That’s what makes it say “Continue Reading.” You can change it directly by editing
   that file, or by creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   for Twenty Ten.
