Give your readers a bit of a break

If you write long posts, the stream blog layout can be a little overwhelming because readers have to scroll past all the text in order to see the next post.

To address this, you can now choose to show only an excerpt/teaser for your posts on the index page.

To do this, include {{ more }} (or <!--more--> if you're coming from WordPress) on its own line where you want the excerpt to end. On your blog's home page, readers will see only the teaser followed by a "Read more" link which points to the full post.

A couple of things worth noting:

• The {{ more }} marker has to be on its own line, in its own paragraph. Tucked inside a list, blockquote, or table, it'll just render as text.
• The "Read more" link follows your blog's language.
• This works for both Stream and Card layout.
