Tweak in WordPress Ample theme – longer summary text

The Ample theme seems really great, however, from my point of view, it has small disadvantage: it shows very short post summary on the list:

Lucky, it’s really easy to tweak it to follow “Read More” tag inserted in the post text:

• Go to Appearance -> Editor

(If you can’t see this option – enable define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false); in wp-config.php)

• Open content.php
• Change

<div class="entry-summary">
 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 </div>

into

<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

• Press _Update File _button

After this, the post list has more verbose summary.
