In the past if you wanted to display post excerpts on the homepage, you would use HTML and CSS to accomplish this. Blogger has solved this problem with the use of "Jump Breaks". This welcomed feature has been requested for some time and it is nice to finally see it implemented.
On September 9, 2009 the Blogger staff released a much requested feature - the ability to display post excerpts on the homepage of a blog. The workaround was always to use HTML and CSS to accomplish this task, but now it is included within Blogger itself.
In Wordpress, you would include <-- more --> in your post. The text before that tag would be displayed as the excerpt on your homepage, while everything after it would be displayed when you clicked the "Read more" link.
Blogger has now included the same feature for Blogger blogs. This should be a welcome change for all who have been using the old HTML method. I have updated Blogger to the Limit to include this new feature, and you can see it working when you view the post summaries on the homepage.
There is an easy-to-follow help article called Creating 'After the jump' summaries that walks you through the process of using this new feature.
