TEST POST: Feed Summary to Full Text

As many of you know, and some have even complained about, Enemy of Debt’s feed publishes the summary and not the full text. I know this has been a pain and I want to thank all of you for your continued patience as I have struggled to fix this problem.

I may have good news! This post will either confirm that or leave me clueless as to why my feed is showing as a summary. I have tried everything possible. According to WordPress it should publish full text. According to the options I know about on feedburner, it is supposed to be showing full text as well. I found something today that may be the culprit but we’ll see.

My fingers are crossed!

I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving Day and I want to thank everyone of you who subscribes to Enemy of Debt from the bottom of my heart. You are the reason I continue to do what I do. Hopefully when you read this you will not see |…|

  1. Funny, I just wrote about this very same thing yesterday at http://debtsucksblog.com/2010/11/24/your-blog-sucks/

    While I’m not subscribed to your blog, I probably wouldn’t have been for very long had I done so. I know I’m close to never going to read articles that are just summaries in my feed reader, so I generally unsubscribe right away to keep them from cluttering things up.

    I guess it didn’t work. I will admit, I didn’t know it was by accident but I don’t like it either. I rarely go to any website to read complete articles unless there is enough info to cause me to want to go. Often I have just enough time to read thru my emails and skip over the ones that don’t tell me much. Maybe you can talk to others that use the same format you use and see what they do different. I don’t blog, so don’t ask me.

    I read summaries to decide if I want full text.

      I wish everyone thought of it like you but unfortunately it makes more people mad. I have received so many emails telling me that they unsubscribed because of that. Personally I see where they’re coming from but also think that if I am writing something they will enjoy, which is hopefully why they subscribed in the first place, my article is only one click away and worth checking out. Again, I do understand that it appears that I want people to click over. I just hope I get it figured out one of these days. 🙂

    What I meant to say in my last comment; is that if I want to read the full text I will go to your site to finixh reading. OR on google and yahoo, they have the option to turn on the reader to full text. I opt out to read snippets only. Your blog is on my yahoo and under the option there is a button for that purpose. Don’t know if that helps or not.
