## Description

Once activated, Gallery posts will have an excerpt that is a row of thumbnail images
from that post, rather than some (often not descriptive) text.
 This excerpt should
appear in your archive pages, and perhaps elsewhere, depending on your theme.

**Note:** The post _must_ actually have the post type ‘Gallery’. It cannot just 
be a post with a gallery in it.

## Installation

 1. Upload ‘Gallery-Excerpt’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
 2. Activate **Gallery Excerpt** through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Your code looks so goofy

Yeah, sorry. I was on a Mountain Dew binge and in a hurry to get the first version
checked in. Hopefully I can get all this cleaned up soon.

  Who can I contact for support?
