Real quick, after reading thru the comments on the excellent article you recommended, it led me to another site with some more info, and after reading thru those comments someone mentioned a plug-in to fix it. So I admit, I took the easy way out and installed the plug-in. Works for me.

Here’s the thread in a nutshell.

My issue was with the the_excerpt() function in my wordpress theme.
to fix it an article at http://www.aaronrussell.co.uk was recommended,

After reading the article and comments I was led to a follow-up at http://palehorseinformation.com/.

In those comments was the solution I used, found at http://wordpress.org/:

I am going to edit the title as well so maybe this will help some other people too.

Thanks again.
