Blog Thought #1
Feed readers work better for full text feeds like enplaned or The Cafes that contain the real content.
Essentially headline feeds like the Cafe au Lait Recommended Reading or Memorandom work better in a browser. In fact, a feed like Memeorandum’s that forces you to visit their site first just to get the real link is almost completely pointless. The Cafe au Lait/Cafe con Leche recommended reading feeds are much nicer (though of course the real difference is in the content).
The Cafe au Lait/Cafe con Leche story feeds are sort of in the middle, but they probably run more to the headline end of the spectrum because the individual stories, even when syndicated as full text, are usually pretty small.

You have to laugh … this is published in an Atom feed (http://blog.elharo.com/blog/feed/atom/) and the summary is truncated so that you have to go to the full webpage for the last paragraph :-)

Oops. that’s a bug. The feed is supposed to be full text, but I guess when I took full text off the home page, the full text feed went with it. Let me see if I can figure out how to fix that without making the front page overly long again.
