Add usage example for the_excerpt_length()
Feb 18, 2011 at 18:32 comment added user66 @Eeyore the_excerpt_length isn't a filter, it's a function that lets you echo an excerpt of a specific length. Sorry for the confusion. I'll add a usage example to the answer.
Feb 18, 2011 at 4:40 comment added Eeyore After adding the the latter example I get 500 error. I put both methods in functions.php and added add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'the_excerpt_length' );
