Small change to keep blog organized

I think that this blog is becoming a little hard to keep track of. It would be nice to keep it organized, so that other REAP students can use it as well. Hence, I made some changes to the code which will help us keep the future blog posts shorter. We are now using the new blogger editor, which has a number of new features. Read here if you are interested. If not, all you have to know is that there is an easy way to keep posts short on the main blog page, as demonstrated here. You will have to read more to continue reading the remainder of the post.

If you think that your post will be too long to be displayed at once (more than 20 lines or so), you should make use of the "Insert Jump Tag" button on the Compose toolbar (all the way to the right).

Another thing that is useful to organize large blogs are tags. There should not be too many tags, so its good to reuse them often. Tags like LABEL or ENERGY can be used for many posts. Tags help to only display the posts that contain information about the topic LABELS or LEED. This way, if e.g. the materials group will post here, they can tag their relevant blog entries with MATERIALS, and it will be easy to overview the information in this blog.
