Avoid post excerpts from affecting your blog’s RSS feed
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to receive the latest updates. Thanks for visiting!
Either for the benefit of increasing page views or for avoiding the problem of duplicate content, you might have decided to display only post excerpts on your home page. You do this by adding the <!–more–> tag to your posts.
The reader will be able to glance through entire post only if he clicks on the ‘more’ or such links on your post. It’s a good thing to do, but do you know that this affects your feed too?
Most of you give out full feeds but the fact is that displaying post excerpts makes it partial. The feed too displays only the post excerpt. Most readers are against partial feeds, you might know.
But there’s a plugin to avoid this thing from happening - it’s the Full Text Feed.
Once you’ve installed this plugin on your WordPress blog, feed readers will be able to see the entire article even if you’ve used the <!–more–> tag on your posts.
You can download the plugin from here. Did you find it useful?

Great! I have used tags in almost in all posts. It doesn’t affect direct site visitors but it will definitely be a pain for feed readers.
Thanks!
I’m glad you liked it, Beta3
I use the more tag in all my posts. It is a good practice to reduce the size of your blog home page but is a great pain for my RSS readers. I am already using this great plugin. Thanks for letting everyone else know Shankee
