 * 1. This is the content output code in Mark Inderhees rotating_post.php file:
 *     ```
       echo "        <div class='rp_post_content'>{$postContent}</div>\n";
       ```
   
 * 2. How do I wrap the following code around the above statment:
 *     ```
       <?php
         $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
         echo string_limit_words($excerpt,25);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * IF…. this is the code in my functions.php file:
 *     ```
       <?php
       function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
       {
         $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
         if(count($words) > $word_limit)
         array_pop($words);
         return implode(' ', $words);
       }
       ?>
       ```
