Full text RSS feed

So until Scoble posted about a boycott I had no idea that the issue of excerpts versus full text in feeds was so huge. I’ve been using RSS aggregators for a couple of years now and have always preferred headings and decent excerpts. I’ve unsubscribed from more feeds for having too much text than I have too little.

I don’t really want to switch my main feeds for that reason, but I’ve made a full text feed here for the people who want it:

I have no plans to add RSS ads because I think they’re dumb and gross.

Also for any WordPress hackers out there looking to do this on their own blogs, I’ve described what I did to make this work here.

Thanks, Brad! It’s nice to have the choice — depending on the aggregator style you prefer, one or the other will usually be better…
