RSS Subscribers: Full Post vs. Summary Preference?

I don’t use RSS Feeds to read things, I prefer to see content the way a site designer meant it to be seen…So I really have no idea what people want to see in an RSS Feed. I recently received some complaints that some of my posts have images that are really big, and mess up some RSS Readers. Of course, on my site I use CSS to resize images to the right dimensions, so I don’t notice things like that.

Anyway, I found a setting in WordPress for putting out summaries of posts on the RSS Feed, instead of the full post, meaning that images don’t get posted to the feed. I don’t know if this is better…Would people rather have a full feed with oversized images every now and then, or would you rather have a summary?

I don’t know if you can tell from this post, but I don’t like RSS Feeds. They make it impossible to get a real count of the people who read my blog, since WordPress doesn’t track them…

    I don’t use RSS feeds either, except when I know that the person doesn’t update very often. Like the blogs of all those busy-ass neurologists who think they’re too cool to post anything twice a year.
