Upgraded to Full-text RSS feeds
4I was talking to a popular blogger this week, and bemoaning the lack of time that I have had to blog recently, and he asked me, “Why is it that your blog doesn’t have full-text feeds?”
I looked at him funny (over the phone, of course).
The real reason was that I’ve just been too busy to change it from the MT default that came installed.
But tonight, I made the move. If you’re reading this via an Feedreader, hopefully you’re seeing everything, and you’re seeing it in all the rich color, with pictures and all the rest included.
If you’re not subscribed to the blog, here’s some easy ways:
RSS 2.0 Feed
Atom 0.3 Feed
RSS 1.0 Feed
Please let me know if you find any bugs! For all I know I’ve just made the blog show up in Spanish…

Wow – no-one has ever accused me of being popular before Dave!
Unless of course you were talking to someone else about this too!!!
Hello David,
may I ask you why you decided to switch to Full-text feeds?
I’m curious because I’ve always preferred summary and not full contents, according to original RSS specs but I’ve seen lots of “big users” switching to full-text data.
About this topic I wrote some articles and I read lots of opinions.
I am looking forward to reading your ideas!
Hello everybody, I want to make friend with you. Nice to meet you.
It would seem that offering up full text for RSS feeds means no one has to visit your website to read your content. Is it worth changing to full text at the expense of your site traffic? I guess that’s a judgement call. Also, is it even “legal” in the RSS spec? I thought the description field was clear that it should be a brief summary, not the full text. Just thinking out loud (or in type).
