RSS feed output

[Earthan]

HI,

My rss feed output show the entire blog and all the posts in their full length.  I prefer to send out a summary and a set number of posts.  How do i do that?

thanks

Paul

Hi there,

Unfortunately you can't currently manipulate the format in which RSS feeds render. Instead, I'd suggest you use a free service like Feedburner (http://feedburner.google.com) to optimize your feed as you see fit. All you need to do is provide Feedburner with your raw RSS feed URL, and then under "Optimize" they offer a service called "Summary", which should achieve something similar to what you've mentioned. You then embed/provide customers with the Feedburner URL as opposed to the original URL.

If you want something even more custom, consider Yahoo Pipes perhaps - it's able to completely manipulate RSS feeds and spit them back out in a variety of formats.

Hope that helps,

Jackson.

Thanks for the tip....

Why does BC not have it?

well that did not work

feedburner can not work out the feed

where do I get the "raw rss feed url"?  I tried right out of the rss part of the site and then out of a link but not working
