I see the same terms commonly defined and that by logical extension is foolish. If you don't know what RSS means, for instance, having it explained to you as Really Simply Syndiation means *nothing*. If you already have an RSS reader, meaning you actually care about RSS, the you don't need it explained.<br><br>And what's all the hoopla about defining something like HTML? Nobody who's reading a site cares what HTML means if they don't already know it. Letters to the Editor of a newspaper aren't burdened by the writers lack of knowledge about pics and points and ems and ens etc....<br><br>The only way semantics would be useful is to define really uncommon words. And so far, nobody does that. There's just too much work involved.RogerSat, 13 Nov 2004 16:41:56 -0000http://sandipbnet.disqus.com/extending_wordpress8217s_rss_excerpts/#comment-18822101You can also browse for the options in PHPMyAdmin if your web provider has that as an option. It's also worth nothing, to anyone who might come across this page, that it might not always be "wp_options" if you changed the database prefix during the install or if you have multiple installations of WP.<br><br>And, changing the value from 50 to 0 (zero) will display an excerpt of unlimited length, if that's what you so choose.RogerSun, 14 Nov 2004 18:52:23 -0000
