Is it possible to use Custom Scripts & CSS section of Edit Post Grid to increase the length of the post excerpt that is shown? The default seems to be 20 words and can be seen on my test site if you scoll down the page:

Nevermind on the CSS to make the post title underlined…I figured it out. Didn’t realize there was a CSS section that appliend to the entire Layout.

One more issue: I can’t figure out the correct CSS to add under the Post Title section to make the title be Underlined. Could you please provide that?
