If a blog entry (such as my ramblings about memex) is long it will occupy too much space on front page or other summary pages. So it is good to break blog entry into "lead-in" and the rest of story.

I have it now implemented in MicroBlog by using a simple convention that if entry has empty paragraph it is used as place to break entry into lead-in and the rest.
