Just Meta-data (Goes around outside post on home page Works) & Post Excerpt ( Most Important!!!)..

Lines Run... is what's important... (Lines can be picky).

Without
<div class="post-excerpt">{{ post.excerpt }}</div>
Line.
The blog on Minima won't show pictures or written lines in it. Uses /n/n spacing...

Which is
a spaced line in html

a paragraph

a spaced line in html

Right on markdown blog post file at the top (or wherever you leave a spaced line in it past the top, (you can leave a line at the top, after front matter or not).

or at Jekyll. Use a more <--more--> tag in setup and post.

In Config.yml

excerpt_separator: <!--more-->

Next in post (I think). Instead of space.
