Just a little update. Done some testing trying to figure out what's causing this and I'll give you a couple examples here.

There is an awesome article written by lead content designer Colin Johanson up at the Guild Wars 2 website. There is not any PvP relevance to the article but it did point out quite a few of the inherent flaws

I won’t bother trying to rephrase the content as he says it much more ebulliently then I could manage so head on over and take

So you can see what I mean. It won't ever finish the article and add the last two words which should be "a look!" irregardless of the excerpt length. Not a major bug, but I don't think that's intended functionality. Might want to do some testing on how it handles posts that are < the excerpt length.
One other thing, I've set it up so that the <blockquote> tab is in the "Don't strip these tags" section so that they will show up on the main page, problem is if the expert ends in a blockquote the custom read more message will be included inside the blockquote as well. Solved that by just adding a </blockquote> to the beginning of my custom read more message but that's not a very elegant fix. Just something else to think about.
