<p>WordPress Excerpts should be short, you know.</p>
<p>But when a user writes a lot, you might want to limit the number of characters for the excerpt panel: that’s where the Excerpt Character Limiter plugin comes handy!</p>
<p>It will basically add a character countdown to the panel titlebar, and it will truncate the text when available characters drop to zero.<br />
Simple but effective!</p>
