RSS Feed Change

Written by nickel - 2 Comments

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I switched to a summary RSS feed last night. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, and hope that you’ll understand. I’ve made this move in order to protect my content from blatant ’scraping’ and republication. I’m not a big fan of summary feeds myself, so I’m still trying to figure out how best to implement this… I sometimes have a hard time figuring out if I really want to read an article if the summary isn’t long enough, and I hate clicking through only to find that I don’t really want to read it. Thus, I’m still experimenting and trying to determine the ideal length. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to post them. Thanks.

  1. The length you currently have is pretty good - enough to give me an idea of what the article is about. It’s pretty good for a summary feed :-)

  2. I don’t blame you a bit. I just found a blurb on another site that obviously took its info from mine. I wouldn’t even care if they had just acknowledged where they got it. I think summaries work well.
