  Hello,

  I hope that someone could help me:

  I want to put a manual excerpt in the “Latest Article” section on my home page, so I have nice and neat text instead of all the links from audio and video inputs etc. But I keep strugling, because when I add the_excerpt function, it shows the both: the manual exceprt of the post I’ve added and the original automated post excerpt.

  Could you please help me, my website: agytalks.com

  here is the code I use to display the latest articles:

  <?php
$recentBlog = new WP_Query();
$recentBlog->query('showposts=1');
while($recentBlog->have_posts()) : $recentBlog->the_post();
?>
