Another reason to publish full feeds instead of truncated summaries…

Tuesday, 6 February 2007 Comments »

In addition to caring about your readers, you can get yourself into "interesting" situations when you truncate your posts in your RSS feed.

Then I'm so pleased to see the writer's finished thought.

Here's an unusually truncated post that made me almost swallow my tongue just now:

    Elizabeth, unfortunately there is not. You usually just tell it to stop after a certain number of characters or words. :(

    I switched to truncated feeds to thwart tards like Bitacle… but you have a point here…

    I hate bitacle and all those asswipes too, but I just can't worry about it. The people who read my blog shouldn't have to be hassled just because sploggers exist. ;)
