Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
I have posted a fair amount in the last month about full vs partial RSS feeds.
Finally I was given a solution by a reader of this blog. You can, and I think you should, offer your readers the chance to choose whether they want full or partial feeds. All it takes is one simple plugin for Wordpress blogs.
The DualFeeds plugin allows you to manage your feeds in such a way that all your readers will be contented. The lines are clearly drawn and people are split almost 50/50 when it comes to full vs partial feeds. I haven’t made my mind up and no longer have to.
From the DualFeeds Blog:
This plugin creates ‘dual feeds’, allowing you to offer your readers both a full post feed and a summary feed. This works for all post feeds (category, author, etc), not just the main site feed. Comment feeds are unaffected.
Hi. Thanks for recommending my plugin. If you or your readers have any questions just let me know. Just a note - I don’t mind the direct downlink to the download above, but its probably worth visiting the plugin’s homepage as there are lots of notes about usage etc.
Hi Stephen - agreed, it is definitely worth visiting your site for the other stuff that is available, if you would rather I change the link, just let me know, no problem!!
Thanks for stopping by.
