When my readers checks for new articles from my blog using RSS, the unread articles are automatically published to my readers in its entirety. So, I have loyal readers but they are not visiting my site. How do I provide the readers with partial article so that if they are interested, they can click on a link and get the entire article from my site? I'm using WordPress.
There's an option in the admin interface under Options -> Reading -> Syndication Feeds called 'For each article, show:'. Select 'Summary' here and that'll do it.
I'm no so sure that allowing them to read a whole article is a bad thing. I subscribe to a number of feeds, allowing me to quickly read all my blogs. If I normally find myself going to the particular blog to comment. Before I had feeds, I didn't go to as many blogs becasue of time restrictions.
Thanks for the insight. However, after the 1st day of change, I'm seeing a slightly higher traffic to my blog. Let me monitor for a few days and see if this change has indeed increased my traffic or otherwise.
