My feed was partial only because I didn't know how to get around a Wordpress bug to make it full (partial feeds annoy me too!) But I finally got around to fixing it...thanks!

I think I'm going to eliminate some from my reader as well. I don't know why I even keep them there! I have always hated partial feeds and I rarely click through to read the entire article.

Still got like 125 or so to keep me busy! I trimmed my google reader of about 20 feeds last time after I slowly noticed a lot of websites turning to partials.

I'm glad to see that I chose full feed. I didn't put much thought into it, but what you say makes perfect sense. I've actually been subscribing to blogs with Google Homepage, but I'm starting to think that may be terribly inefficient. I have Google reader so I'm going to start adding everyone there and give it a go. Interesting. I’m glad to see that I chose full feed.

Partial feeds mess that all up. I used to be (about 2 years ago) all gung-ho on partial feeds, most because of content scraping. but the truth is, those folks can scrape you pages regardless of what you put out in your feed. In the meantime, when they republish it'll usually link back to your site anyway, so you get a backlink. More backlinks = better SE ranking. So, I figure, hey, great, let 'em scrape. Dupe content doesn't come into play since your site is clearly the originator of the content. -Michelle I agree – the reason I use a feed reader in the first place is so I don’t have to visit individual sites.

I can't say if this post and my feeds are related, but I've lost quite a few subscribers since you posted this. Clever Dude — Can you update this post noting that I now allow full feeds?
