Full Summary Troubleshooting, For Wordpress and Feedburner

Filed under: Blogging, DIY — kingkong @ 7:43 pm

Well as many of you are aware that we were recently having many issues with our RSS subscription, and making it a full summary there are many ways that can be edited in this post we will illustrate various was and tips and tricks for setting up your feed and getting you oh so important posts to your readers in a stylish effort less manner, and couple of tricks for increasing your number of readers!

First of all make sure your Wordpress is functioning correctly for full summary!

  1. Sign in
  2. Go to Options> Reading
  3. Syndication Feeds

Make sure it’s configured as same as in the picture below:

You can change the show most recent to the numbers of you post you want shown in your feed! That little note at the bottom of the section about more tags is that if you type that in your post, it will cut off the recent of the post in the RSS reader those making the reader have to go to your site. Nice little ploy once having the reader hooked they will visit the site, I find it better to provided the reader with the full context rather than just little samples, I find it irritating so I won’t make my readers just through hoops!

Secondly, if you use Feedburner you will have to “Optimize” for full summary!

  1. Sign in
  2. Go to Optimize
  3. Go to Summary Burner on the left panel make sure off if you want full summary!
  4. Feed Flare: If you want it to display link to stumble, technorati, dig and, ect. At the end of posts ( Both on site and subscription RSS
  5. Go to “Your Feed” to see results in real time!

Make sure its configured as same as in the picture below:

If you did all that and it still doesn’t work then it’s a problem with your RSS type, this is the issue we suffered from couple days back we were using RSS 0.92 , full summary is only enable is RSS 2.0 and on! To change your subscription from different type of RSS feeds is simply done here is an example!

My Old Feed:

My New Feed:

YAY! For lack of a monkey sound that we could type to express, my relief that we got the site’s new theme up and running! It took me and KiwiPulse, quite awhile, to agree and decided on what was possible with the blogs theme, but we finally got it done! I really love the new header! We would love some user input on it, (please don’t ask about the six pack on the monkey’s butt, were as stumped as you are) we trying to give off that hardcore monkey feel with let us know if we pulled it off! KiwiPulse, is a new blog he discusses things such as web, fun stuff, and general stuff you don’t want to read but just end up reading anyway! I will be writing a full review sometime this weekend! Thanks to alllll of you who helped out with the feed burner full summary issues, the issue was due to the fact that when I started up my blog, I used RSS .92 instead of RSS 2.0 which allows full summary post, as supposed to previous versions of RSS! We will be writing to tutorials in order to help other people with this situation! We also have another up and coming series called Monkey Rage, so dig out all your bottled up angry and write a post about something you don’t like, and let out that rage. It just might get you featured! Its August now, we had a phenomenal first month blog world wise, not so much with the money, but here at the KingKongBlog we strive to build interrelationships now, and enjoy the heaps of cash later! Thanks again to MsDanielle and Enkay for all there help with the feed! Oh yeah, before we forget, we entered a blogging challenge over at OneMansGoal, so all the visits, links backs, and favs at technorati the better, if we actually do win something ( no prize as of yet) we will split it with all the commentators!
