so, collections sort by date by default (if provided) in 3.0, that's cool. And I didn't realize it but .excerpt works with collections as well.

a larger question of how it's positioned amongst other generators. No way of knowing, but my guess would be that it's use for product/marketing sites is getting bigger and bigger, and it's use as a personal blog getting smaller and smaller

well it's still talked about that way on the jekyllrb site.

Interesting to think about how 'blog-aware' was a point of distinction for Jekyll, but now with collections it seems like a lot more than just a blog generator

@jaybe Sounds good. Was really just having a go at you, rather than actually making a suggestion. But it looks good. :)

Since we're talking about it, 'to create simple' should really be either 'used to create simple' or 'for creating simple' or somesuch

sorting a collection by date should be easy as {% assign sorted = site.collection | sort: "date" %} right? Still trying to figure out why I'd use Posts vs. collections in 3.0

there's also `group_by`

@osfameron if you have date in the front matter you can sort by it

Oh, I thought posts generated the category/tag pages automatically. Even more reason just to use a collection then

So if that's how things are going, might as well head that way now

All of which I can build out for a collection anyway

Yes, I don't really see any advantages to using _posts over collections ATM except for the category/tag pages you get for free, and the default date sorting, and .excertps

And if that's the direction everything is going, collections by default, then that's how I'll want to go too

@osfameron wow, cool. I'm not using 3.0 as Im using GH-pages to build. But I'd rather use a _news collection as it will make more sense to content managers than posts.

@osfameron or excerpts?

so in 3.0 categories and tags would be available to collections?
