In addition to caring about your readers, you can get yourself into “interesting” situations when you truncate your posts in your RSS feed. In fact, sometimes the truncation ends at the end of a sentence, and I think that I’ve read the whole post. Until I happen to see it on the web site at a later date. Then I’m so pleased to see the writer’s finished thought.
Here’s an unusually truncated post that made me almost swallow my tongue just now:
Oh Alpha Dogma, you’re killing me! (And I kid because I care ;)
{ 6 comments… read them below or add one }
*Snort* Ha! I had to read that last line twice and then I got it. I don’t know, is there a way to specify where a post should truncate for the feed?
Elizabeth, unfortunately there is not. You usually just tell it to stop after a certain number of characters or words. :(
P.S. I just saw on the bottom of your sidebar that you have lost SIXTEEN POUNDS since January 2nd? Do you mind if I ask how? A specific diet, a specific exercise plan? Because I have not lost ANY weight at all.
South Beach diet!
I switched to truncated feeds to thwart tards like Bitacle… but you have a point here…
I hate bitacle and all those asswipes too, but I just can’t worry about it. The people who read my blog shouldn’t have to be hassled just because sploggers exist. ;)
