## AI overview

A short Jekyll tutorial showing how to add a "Read more" link when a post excerpt differs from the full post content.

## Source excerpt

Please note that I'm not using Jekyll anymore, so this post might be outdated. It is nice to use post.excerpt instead of post.content on your Jekyll home page, but then users can't see if there is more to read until they open the whole post. To add Read more link, you can use this simple snippet. {% if post.excerpt != post.content %} <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}">Read more</a> {% endif %}
