It is now toggled. And, bloglines appears to be getting full posts now; as is everybody else. Sorry for the foul up. - ben (in the role of system administrator) Yes indeed, there is a toggle in WordPress that instructs it to generate feeds with everything in them. It is now toggled.

I run a full feed on my Blogger blogs, and Real Soon Now I'll get around to writing a little utility that trims them down to excerpts for those as prefer reading that way. Someday.

In Typepad, for instance, it is under Configure>Publicity and Feeds, where you opt whether you want to offer a feed at all. I think entire posts annoy some people, but when you subscribe to a feed in Bloglines, you can choose whether you want to receive the entire post or not anyway. I always go for the whole post, but I often end up visiting the site anyway, to check comments, or just to see the post on the page how the person presents it.

You know on a long post it truncates your feed too. So I only see part of your posting. What I do is read the partial and if I want to read the rest and see the photos I just click on your blog's name in the left hand column (which has all the updated blogs I subscribe to) and your blog opens in another window. It's not that much of a big deal to me. My blog does the same - but I do it on purpose. I noticed that most of my Blogline subscribers have unsubscribed because of that. Whoops. Hi -

But I can tell you as a Bloglines cultist... er, aficionado, I'd be *really* happy if you did. I subscribe to very few partial feeds, just because it's so much less convenient than the full feeds are, and eventually I get tired of the hassle and unsubscribe.
