I just found an unexpected issue with this PR. It causes all the posts on the main blog page to render full text instead of excerpts. I won't have time today to track down the cause, but will turn this back into a full PR once I address that issue. |

I have spent some time investigating the issue. There seems to be a bug in Jekyll where turning on page excerpts causes each post on the blog page to display its full text and not its excerpt. I tested with the latest version of Jekyll and still see this issue. I also have found the issue to be nondeterministic. Sometimes I can enable page excerpts without the bug occurring, sometimes it seems adding a call into the page excerpt for the meta tags causes it to happen. However, backing out the changes does not always revert the behavior. I haven't found a similar issue mentioned searching in Jekyll forums. My next step would be to try to reproduce the issue in a simple Jekyll project. |
