u can add theas lines in youre function.php file:

function hsbo_excerpt_length( $length )
{
return 60;
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘hsbo_excerpt_length’);

I used hsbo as the namespace, u can ofc use what ever u like

I did a quick write up here for changing the WP Excerpt - How to change the_excerpt() in Wordpress.

I created a plugin for the WordPress backend to make it easier to change the length of the excerpt – without having to edit any core WordPress files.

The downside is that it only works in WordPress 2.7 and above.
