RE: I have bulleted lists in some of the entries and they are not showing correctly on the main page with the summaries.

Add this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-circled .cn-circled-content ul {
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    margin: 0 0 10px 24px;
}

RE: They also extend the summary as well, which I don’t want.

Right, the code that creates the excerpt makes an attempt to not cut off mid sentence. Basically the excerpt length will keep increasing until it finds a period (.) or exclamation (!). So, the solution is to use more punctuation or shorten the excerpt length so it will not extend past the first sentence or two of your entries.

The next update to Connections will have support for a new Excerpt field. If I’ve done my work properly Circled will continue to create the excerpt from the Bio field, but, if you add text to the Excerpt field that will be used instead. This will allow you to better customize the two.

Hope this helps!
