Show me the feeds

Why is it when I subscribe to certain feeds that people choose to only show a snippet of their post/article. I want to read that in my RSS reader, I don't want to have to go to your site. Especially when I'm offline and I've downloaded the feeds through Google Gears, I get no value from those sites and it bugs me. Stop it. If you want metrics, then use Feedburner or something. Show me the feeds!!!

I was poked for truncating feeds from my blog just yesterday. In truth, I didn't realise that I was doing it. I suspect that many people will be doing that without choosing to just because of the default settigns of Wordpress.

I host my own blog thanks to wonderful Wordpress but hadn't spotted the setting to control this feature.

I'm fixed now. Here's a screenshot of where to change that setting:

Let the RSS feed items flow!
