love this theme – how can i increase the word allowance?

Hello Jim and thank you for the feedback.
About your question, you mean the excerpt length? You can change the value in the /inc/theme-setup.php file.
I will build an option panel in the next big release. I will add an option to change this ??

Thanks. As usual when I’m talking to a designer, I made the change and only then understood why you had taken the decision to limit the length to 25 – and so I changed it back to your default setting!

Right now, if there is a link in the blog post – this is just rendered as text on the front page with no link embedded. Is this a limitation of wordpress or something that is inherent to the theme.

Oh – edited to add: In my opinion it might also be better if it resolved to omitting the ‘header’ side image on smaller devices. Just my opinion though!

Hmm yes, in fact, you can increase the excerpt length but you lose visibility on the posts. On a laptop, we can see only 4 posts on the home page.

About the links in excerpt, I think it’s a limitation of WordPress but I can probably find a solution to “hack” this.

And yeah, you’re right about mobiles. I’m working on it right now ??
