Advanced Post Excerpt, Where have you been all my life?
This plugin resolves the most frustrating part of blog excerpts. (no HTML formatting) This makes post archive pages so much more versatile. Thanks for this plugin!

Perfect
A simple plugin that does exactly what it says in the description. I now have the ability to have rich text editing in my post excerpt... exactly what I wanted. Many thanks to the author!

Just what I was looking for - and it works perfectly.
Oh, and special thanks for lifting the excerpt field up from the page bottom - that position was really annoying.
