Publishing Full Content Through My RSS Feed in WordPress
Ok, I’ve just recently changed my RSS feed settings, so that it should now publish detailed blog postings, via RSS..
Had a request on twitter, by one of the readers of the blog, asking me why I didn’t publish the full content of the article, via RSS, and truth be told, I didn’t even know there was a setting.
Perhaps I had mistakenly set it earlier, or previously, but I didn’t really have an recollection of the setting at all..
Eventually, I found it, under Settings/Reading (in Wordpress), and apparently I had set my feed summary to show only a brief portion of the article through the RSS feed. It wasn’t deliberate, but in retrospect, people may prefer shorter summaries from me, given that some of my posts can be quite long and detailed, since I’m a firm believer in over delivering in value, and content, and less about generating lots of ”fast”, “snappy” content, to try to increase my google ratings, or some such reason. Besides, that’s not what I want to focus on here. This is my personal living room, the place where I share with you my thoughts, my ideas, my perspectives in life.. And frankly, I want to make it as comfortable as I possibly can for you to listen in, and participate in conversations when you want to.
With that in mind – if anyone else has any feedback they’d like to share with me, about this blog, it’s RSS, what works, what doesn’t work, what they think of it. I’d appreciate your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback :) I’ll be blogging more over the coming weeks.. and apologise in advance if I haven’t finished off that article I said I would.. It’s in the pipeline.. I just have to figure out when to write it ;)

Full post came through fine on the RSS feed! Prefer full posts as I skim my rss feeds deciding which content to properly read – short versions are too short so I more rarely click through.
Bring on the long posts!
Glad it works ;) Thanks for giving me the heads up. I hadn’t thought about it before.. Want the website to reflect my thinking and ideas, and feedback, and if it’s easier for you through your RSS reader, then by all means, please consume away ;)
