Allowing people to read full posts in RSS feeds...

Consider this a PSA for the week. I know lots of people truncate posts in the hopes of driving traffic to their site. This thinking is outdated and lame. Readers are what count, and you want eyes on your content, at least you do if you're writing in hopes of engaging an audience, right? SO ENABLE YOUR FULL POSTS TO BE READ ... m'kay?

O.K., I also realize some of you aren't aware your posts are truncated, or you just don't know what the settings are to allow the full feed (I came across this realization when a colleague (who is VERY internet savvy). Below is how you do it in blogger, but I imagine it's similar across other CMS platforms:

dashboard > settings > site feed > allow blog feeds > full
