[hibernate-dev] [in.relation.to] Only display post summary in list pages

[Sanne Grinovero]

Very nice!

This should also mitigate some of the SEO problems.

I see e.g. Emmanuel tends to have long unstructured starts

Maybe you could improve it by forcing a "cut" before images, code snippets
and such?

Thanks,
Sanne
