Regarding the above comment – I don’t often read partial feeds either – but i have heard that there are so problems on certain blogging platforms where it’s set by defalut and then very difficult to change. I think this is a problem assocaited with feedburner.

I do sympathise with the blog owners though – if they’re going to spend a lot of time writing posts the least the readers could do is visit the site.

I do find I often don’t read “partial feeds”, since I do most of my reading on my mobile phone using Google Reader, and most web sites are less than stellar on most mobile phones.

And even if I do, a lot of phones have no JavaScript and I’ve turned off images, to conserve bandwidth, and to speed things up.

I guess a little reminder in the feed could suffice, a bit like all those (uesless) feedburner (tracking) icons at the bottom of a lot of feeds. It could simply be a link which (hopefully) would allow me to sign up and kachingle from my mobile phone.

Erik: I’ll check with Kachingle folks about plans for RSS support. … One thing I’ve thought about is changing my blog to excerpt mode (first couple grafs then “more” link to encourage clickthroughs to my site). Used to have it that way, then decided full-feed was more convenient for readers. What do you think? Would you find that annoying?

This is cool, since it’s one huge experiment.

But what about RSS feeds?

I’m an eager reader of your blog, but I only follow your feed. This is actually the first time I’ve clicked through to reach the site. How can kachingle work for me?
