I have a question for you my current feed readers and for my future feed readers.

Do you prefer a full or partial feed for this blog.?

The reason I ask is because I want to be able to give you more of what you want and if that’s a full RSS feed then that’s what you’ll get, or do you even care. I personally dont care I subscribe to few blogs that dont use full feeds and it doesnt bother me in the least. I read the caption and or first few lines they have as their feed and if I want to continue reading I will click through.

Secondly I am having all sorts of problems with getting a full feed from Feed Burner. I have the full text feed plug-in and it doesn’t seem to have any effect. So anyone with a fix please do lend a helping hand because I could use it. I’m not sure if it is because I am redirecting my feed from this blog to feed burner or if its the more tag thing, which isn’t being handled by the full text feed plug-in, or if it is my feed settings on feed burner.

there has in the past been some debate over the full or partial feed topic. here’s some links for you to read and make your decision.

Problogger: Full or partial feed debate

I ultimately blog because I want to communicate something and I want people to read my content. As a result I think full feeds are great as they put all my content into anyone’s hands who wants itI’m sick and tired of finding others publishing my feeds in full - quite often with no attribution to me as an author and quite often with no link back. Partial feeds solve this problem - at least ‘partially’

So, let’s get to it: what are my views?

1) That I won’t subscribe to any feed that isn’t full text. Well, except for my brother’s blog.
2) That treating RSS readers well will get you more Web browser readers.
3) That full-text sites will be more profitable because of this than partial-text sites.

Feed burner blog: Ricks rumination full feeds

First of all, I think the primary justification often given for partial feeds - that it will drive higher clickthroughs back to the publisher’s site - is off-base. As people subscribe to feeds, they subscribe to more feeds. And that means they’re consuming more content, which means that each click out of the feed reader is taking the reader away from more content. In other words, feed reading is consumption-oriented, not transactionally focused. We’ve seen no evidence that excerpts on their own drive higher clickthroughs.

SO should I figure out how to get you a full feed or just leave it as is, partial feed?
