Is it just me, or is the RSS Blog feed pretty useless without the full content of each post... Was there a policy change that I missed?

I have the title of each blog pulled into my RSS reader, what more do you need? it tells you if there is anything new and gives you the direct link. I'm getting the same data I've always been getting

I've always gotten the full text and still do.

All paizo.com RSS feeds should contain the entire contents for each item. Do you have an example URL for a feed that doesn't?

MigarFrobert it sounds like this may be your reader then, as I said above, I'm only getting the title using FIREFOX's default "live bookmarks" reader, until you click on it, then it becomes the entire text in a new firefox tab...

I've been using:

http://paizo.com/paizo/blog&xml=rss

I have to click the title of each post to get the detail...
Should I be using something else?

Thanks,

Migar

What are you using as a reader?

Huh. It looks like around Christmas time we started abbreviating the description for an item to 500 characters in the RSS version of the feed. I don't remember why we did that, so I'll look into fixing it.

For now, try using the Atom format feed:

I took out the 500 character limitation on the RSS format feeds. Let's see what that breaks!

I swear if my PS3 stops working again for a day I'm blaming you Gary.

Atom feed seems to work fine - the RSS one doesn't seem to bring in the full post yet. I'm using Google Reader BTW. Anyway, work-around in place - thanks!
