Snippet or Full Content???

Hey All,

Gonna start my first post with a big thanks to everyone who worked on getting Liferay Blogging to a very usable point.

Then, I have a question for everyone out there...

Snippet or Full Content?

By this I mean in the RSS feed of our blogs. Does the world prefer a simple snippet of the content as part of the RSS item? OR does it prefer the Full Content of the post to be included in the RSS item.

Personally? I'd like to see the Full Content in my RSS aggregator. If I decide I want to view the comments... or make one... then I'll click the link back to the source, but otherwise, just let me read... that's what I'd like.

Hey Ray,

Welcome to the blogsphere.

I agree with you about the idea of having the full content. From a product point of view, I think that it should be configurable, but for Liferay's blogs I would prefer if the whole content was provided in the RSS.

On a related note, I would prefer to use Atom instead of RSS by default.

Ok, see LEP-4221 and LEP-4222. Blogs RSS will show all now and will default to Atom 1.0.

yeah i agree. in your opinion though, when we do count hits for blog entries, do you think a hit should be counted when an entry is RSS fed?
