 There are [other plugins](/docs/plugins) for octopress, but here's an overview of the ones you'll be likely to use while blogging.
 This is mainly a description and demo, so be sure to follow the links beneath each section for examples and documentation.
 
+## Excerpt Filter
+
+When writing a post, you can add an HTML comment `<!--more-->` to split the post for an excerpt. Only the first section of the post, before the comment,
+will show up on the blog index.
+
+This filter is used in `source/_includes/article.html`
+
+## Image Tag
+This plugin makes it easy to insert images in a post, with optional class names, alt and title attributes.

+The category generator builds category specific archive pages for each category in your blog posts.
+The archive pages use the category layout (included with Octopress). In the `_config.yml` you may change
