Partial Feeds - NOT optional, please!

     I learned my lesson, or rather, I finally figured this one out: RSS feeds that are only partials of your entries don't make any particular sense - to me. Jay reminded me of this with a recent entry of his. I still haven't completely grasped the concept of RSS and how it programmatically functions, but I do see the importance of proper implementation. One of the beautiful things about RSS is the fact that I can download the latest from my fav. websites, disconnect and read at my leisure - net or no net connection.
     If you feel okay hacking around with your own MovableType implementation to make sure you are giving full feeds of your entries (and not simply cropped descriptions), here is a site to visit for a quick and dirty explanation:
