I’ve been writing a trip report on my blog that will be in 6 parts. I’d like to include an index at the beginning of each blog post that lists each parts (and has links to other parts). How can I have the blog excerpt ignore this index?
Hmm thinking about this more, that method wouldn’t work as the excerpt strips all HTML.
Your only option may be to specify a manual excerpt for those posts using the “Excerpt” meta box.
If you don’t see that meta box, click “Screen Options” at the top right of the screen while editing the post, and check the box next to the “Excerpt” option.
