 * Im using this plugin to show excerpts of my posts which include a thumbnail at
   the top. It works, however i still want to be able to configure the number of
   words are shown in the excerpt to about 10 words, 55. I would also like to have
   the More link added at the end
 * Can i still do this while using the plugin? Ive been trying to mess with it searching
   but cant get it right. this is my function.php:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebars'))
           register_sidebars(2);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * and my index.php if needed. thanks

 * Try adding:
 *     ```
       function my_excerpt_length($length) {
       	return 10; // Or whatever you want the length to be.
       }
       add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
       ```
   
 * to your functions.php file.
