Ok, riddle me this…

How come my feed shows up full text in some readers and in some readers it is cut off?

The biggest offenders of cutting off a feed is the dumb .Mac reader on the iPhone and Firefox. I’m using Feedburner and am completely stumped. Any advice is welcomed. (This post WILL self destruct)

    I wish I could answer, but I second this problem. I also have the problem where the Feedburner skin sometimes shows and sometimes doesn’t (in the same browser during the same session.) I also cannot seem to get images to show in one feed, but they show fine in another… Strange.

  2. I don’t use the .Mac reader on the iPhone as I’m a Google Reader man myself. However, I wonder if that reader has the same feature as the reader in Safari does. In Safari when you read feeds, you can move a slider to choose the article length shown. That would explain one possibility, but I’m just guessing.

    A couple of things I would check-

    1- If Wordpress is your back end, the MORE tag could be trimming the posts if the reader sees it.
    2- Check the Summary Burner setting in Feedburner Optimize. If it’s active, some readers may be getting the first 200-250 words.

    If it’s the ‘more’ tag, there are a couple of plugins to overcome it… I use “Full Text Feed” though the author says it will no longer be needed with WP 2.5.

  5. The readers are picking up different elements of your RSS feed. Google Reader (which I use) picks up the entire post – which is located in the element. Others probably just use the element – which only contains some truncated version of the post.

    How do I remove elements?
