 * I am using the Modularity theme for my blog. In the blog, I want to use the Featured
   Post option, which currently displays the most recent blog on the left 2/3 and
   the previous four entries on the right 1/3 of the screen.
 * However, I only want the most recent blog entry to display what appears before
   the <!–more–> quicktag.
 * I have found the proper location inside my featured.php file and added the following
   code:
 * <?php
    global $more; $more = 0; the_content(“More…”); ?>
 * However, the theme still displays the entire blog entry instead of just what 
   appears before the <!–more-> quick tag.
 * I am at a loss here. Any thoughts/suggestions/tell me I’m missing something simple?
