When I'm done messing with it, the index.rdf feed will have short excerpts, and index.xml will have full posts and pictures. Truly full posts, not just the first half of the post like it is now.  I'm slowly getting over my jealousy of people who read the feed but don't visit the site.  Slowly realizing that it's the content and not the design that's important.  (The design which is stolen to begin with...!!)</p> <p>I'm pleasantly surprised that the pictures in the RSS feed don't show up as 'image stolen'.  With my luck it's only logical I would have screwed myself over that way, but I guess I didn't. I assume the images must be called up with that XML file as referrer, which is the only qualification for delivery in the htaccess file.</p> Thanks for commenting Brian; you’re the only person who’s ever said anything about the feeds.  I was playing with them but I messed up and now it seems both feeds are exactly the same, which wasn’t my intention.  I’m working on it.  I’m leaving the URLs the way they are.

Personally speaking, I definitely prefer to see full entries rather than summaries, with pictures included. It's still saving you bandwidth in comparison to loading the full website, and it keeps the reader from feeling like the feed makes them a second-class citizen. Or something! But it's your call, of course ;)</p> I read your feed in NNW… Personally speaking, I definitely prefer to see full entries rather than summaries, with pictures included.

Or if anybody else is experiencing this, please let me know. (I'm seeing all the proper images from here.)</p> What about now?  I made a little change that might have fixed it, I hope.  Reload and try it again?
