Can't really figure it out, and I don't think it's part of any other WordPress themes...
What is excerpt balance?

Theme Options in your exported WordPress theme - there are several handy excerpt options, and one weird one!


I found it eventually. Still puzzled though how to control whether a post shows the manual excerpt instead of a generated one. My first themes did (made with 2.5.i) but the new ones I've made with 3.0.4 don't - they just ignore the checkbox.

I've resorted to the 'more' tag but you don't always want to start a post with a summary
