You can replace...

<?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 50); ?>

with...

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

If there is no excerpt, nothing will show up.

I would like to use my own manual excerpt on the home page instead of the standard auto excerpt. I read the link on how to do it in WP ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt ) but I see in your template that you are not using ...

<?php the_content( ... ); ?>

but instead are using ....

<?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 50); ?>

Please explain to me how I can get the post excerpt to work AND will this still work if a manual excerpt is not provided (it would be nice if it did)?

Thanks!
