# Awesome Blog Post
Here is an example post to show how to use the new `excerpt` tag.
The excerpt tag provides a quick and easy way to tease a post by exposing only the first paragraph such as on a blog index page.
<ul>
{% for post in site.posts %}
<li>
<a href="{% post.permalink %}">{% post.title %}</a>
<p>{{ post.excerpt }}</p>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Here is an example post to show how to use the newexcerpt
tag.
Remember to use
in the actual post to tell Jekyll where it should 'cut' the post for the excerpt content. You can also set
excerpt_separator
globally in your_config.yml
to whatever may tickle you fancy.
