  The default format of all post using this Theme is ”left” because I am using the ”excerpt” feature. I want all my excerpts to be updated in justify format.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Try adding the following code to your custom CSS rules, it will justify the excepts on your home and archive pages to look similar to your single posts:

  .home .post .entry,
  .archive .post .entry {
    text-align:justify;
  }

  Oh one other thing, can I double the word length of the excerpt?

  Each theme handles excerpts slightly differently but I’m not aware of any theme that lets you pick the number of words to include. Are you using the excerpt box when you write your posts or is this how your theme shows them by default? Try copying the exact passage of text you want to show into the excerpt area and see if that makes a difference.

  It is by default, no excerpt box just a setting.

  What @hallluke meant by excerpt box is, this.

  So add excerpts in the above excerpt box in the Add/Edit Post page and see if they turn up as you wish.
