 > I Propose to add a settings in "readings options" to let the admin
 customize it.

 Why?

 I don't think that most users will ever need or want to change that. Quite
 often blogs just show the full length posts without any excerpts. Also,
 it's something you'd likely never change again after setting it once. For
 me, that doesn't sound like a great addition to the UI.
