[TxMt] Blogging Bundle: Excerpts for Wordpress

[Brett Terpstra]

If I were actually going to use this (I don't use excerpts) I would  
be using it with Wordpress, and it already uses the <!--more--> tag  
for paging posts, which is different from the excerpt.  My personal  
opinion is that if newlines are necessary then there needs to be a  
delimiter in the header for the beginning and end of the excerpt.  Or  
an ENDOFLINE or something to read until.  KnowwhatImean?
