i haven't had a chance to redirect my old feed URLs yet -but if you get a chance, please adjust the URL in your feed reader to be one of the new feeds in the lower right that have been lit on fire thanks to FeedBurner.com.
FeedBurner is a side venture my Burning Door partners and I have started that allows you the publisher to control the content of your syndicated feeds, get detailed statistics on who is reading your feeds, save on bandwidth costs by having us cache and manage your feeds, and lots of other interesting services to be coming down the pike.
you give us your feed URL, and we hand you back a new URL to put on your site. you can apply services to the feed in the middle and get statistics on what's happening. you can create as many variations as you'd like for your readers.
so if you're reading this and you publish RSS or Atom for people to read, give it a try. heck, if you're not a publisher give it a try.
one of the services we're offering is a "Mobile Filter" which will be tuned to save mobile bandwidth and work well with wireless RSS clients including the BD3 Feed Reader.
as an added incentive for publishers to try this out. I'll be picking an assortment of feeds syndicated through FeedBurner using the MobileFilter to be the "default" feeds in the upcoming releases of the BD3 Feed Reader.
feel free to shoot me an email with a URL where i can see the feed on your site in case i miss it.

Hi Steve, I've just switched over to the RSS 2.0 feed, but it doesn't seem to have full entries -- just the first paragraph. Is that intentional?
