i installed a new wordpress plugin yesterday.
it’s called “better feed” and i am using it to do things that really should be easier to do on my own, but whatever.
the principal reason that i sought it out was because it allows me to do this:

this is something that worked on my blog itself all along, but which didn’t export to my rss feed, which was aNNoying.
it made me not use the feature, actually, because so many people read my blog through planet info that, if the whole post was going to appear there, it didn’t really matter if it was more conveniently formatted on my homepage. i didn’t want to write anything that was longer than i wanted to show up in the aggregator.

shrug

now, though, it is all fixed, so i am free…
;)
for those who care, everything at the wordpress site seemed to suggest that i should have been able to do it by using the the _ content _ rss() template tag, as opposed to the the _ content() tag, but i fiddled with it for quite a while to no avail. so i started looking for plugins instead, and voila!
the plugin also tells you if there are comments on the post, lets you post me to del.icio.us, and puts a little © symbol next to my name.
awww…..

let’s see if we like it, shall we?
