    I am using a plugin to get various rss feeds as posts on my blog. My problem is only about 50 words are posted.

    Is this normal for an rss feed, or is it more likely an error somewhere in my script?

    Open up the plugin in question and look for the_excerpt(something) within the code. If it's there, change it to the_content(something).

    Which plugin is this? A link would be a plus.

    Some blogs only put out a portion of the content within the feeds. The rest do the entire amount.

    Hope this helps,

    It seems most feeds are not providing full content (obviously to avoid people dublicating the entire article). Does anyone kn ow of some RSS feeds that holds the full content?
