  I imported my WordPress blog from self-hosted WP to wordpress.com. I was using MistyLook theme, and still am.

  When my blog posts are viewed in category/archive view I see them excerpts, which have broken images and text that can’t be changed. How can I edit or delete these excerpts?

  I tried switching to themes that support excerpts (per a 2009 wp tip), but none that I tried actually showed the excerpt field in the edit window. How can I edit or delete existing excerpts?

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

  Can we get a direct link to one of these posts?

  Here’s a sample post, which itself looks fine:

  However, when viewed via this link the excerpt appears with broken photo:

  Nevermind… I just realized that I wasn’t seeing the excerpt module because it wasn’t selected from Screen Options.

  Once I activated the excerpt module I was able to delete the excerpt. Sorry for the false alarm! :)
