I have the following comment over on my site, but no clue what the answer is - help!
"I see your excerpt feed RSS URL, but I don't see a URL for a full feed RSS. Do you have one? Thanks!" - MAC from thegofish.com (a pretty decent SOL blog)
I keep hearing about the RSS feeds too, but haven't taken the time to do any research. I'm interested in the answer as well.
On the other hand, what's the little buttons for 'blogshares' and so on that I see on some sites?
Posted by Ted at September 17, 2003 11:11 PMBlogshares is a website that tells you what a "share" in your blog is worth.
Posted by Jennifer at September 18, 2003 12:21 AMBlogshares is like a stock market game--you buy and shares of peoples's blogs, the worth of which are determined by incoming and outgoing links.
I have no idea what RSS is.
I'm not sure that MT does a full-feed RSS. I'll check.

Posted by Stevie at September 18, 2003 05:50 AMOne thing you can do is change the number of words in the automatic excerpt setting in your Config page to, say, 1000. Unless you suddenly turn into Bill Whittle, that should do the trick.
You can also mess with your RSS templates. If you decide to try this, let me know how it turns out.

Changing the excerpt length works, but here's another way. In your XML (or RDF - whichever you want to change) template you'll see a place with the tag $MTEntryExcerpt. Change this to $MTEntryBody. It won't include the extended part, but I'm not perfect, so my blog shouldn't be either. I added it to my site below the other feed.
I thought of that. I think. I think I thought of that.
Yes indeed.
