Everybody jump!

The old jump break offers hidden benefits to all Blogger blogs.

Before Blogger introduced the jump break in 2009, blog themes displayed entire posts stacked on top of each other.

The break allowed blogs to make a main page of posts truncated with "read more" links to each post on separate post pages. (It still does that, for older blog themes.)

Today, the most modern blog themes truncate posts automatically. But the jump can help even these blogs in ways not anticipated in 2009.

Automated lists by topic

Tag your posts with labels, and you'll be able to create dynamic lists of links to all the posts with a label.

(You can also do the same thing for all your posts, labeled or not.)

"Dynamic" means the list revises itself automatically whenever you add or subtract a label from a post.
