I'm currently building a blogging site with Django / Zinnia (latest version), and am having some trouble with controlling the entries summary.
Two questions:
Zinnia's Entry
model has an excerpt
attribute, if thats what you mean my summary
.

You'll need to override entry-detail
template if you want to add the summary
to sidebar
for a blog entry.
And to limit characters for excerpt
you can extend the entry
model
