+* After the jump/Read More.
+
+It's a holdover from newspaper pagination lingo. A story begun on page one might
+be longer than the space available, so a "See page #" is added at the end of the
+first page and the article continues on another. The continuation is referred to
+as the "jump".
+
+Blogs usually allow you to separate a post into two parts, one an excerpt that
+gets posted to the main page and to RSS, and the other a continuation with the
+main text of the article. 'After the jump' usually refers to the part that you
+see after you click 'Read more...'. "Below the fold" means the same thing on
+some sites.
