In my photolog, I use the excerpts to link to thumbnails of the photos. Since I create and store these separately from the photos, it is useful to me to be able to preview the excerpt as well as the content of each post, so I knocked together a plugin, previewexcerpt.php, to add an excerpt preview to the bottom of the Write/Edit screen.
Free to good homes, and all like that there.
UPDATE: Truly braindead error (excerpt previews appearing on all admin pages, rather than the write/edit page only) fixed.

Hello! I would like to use this preview excerpt in my blog… could you help me? Where do I put the .php file? In what folder? wp-admins? Do I have to call it in index.php? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. :smile:
Piece of cake. Put the .php file in your ‘plugins’ folder (which should be just under your ‘wp-contents’ folder). Then run wordpress and, on the ‘plugins’ tab, activate it.
The next time you save a post (save and continue editing), you’ll see whatever you’ve put in the excerpt field reflected at the bottom of the window, just below the main post preview.
