Just realized something else re: full text feeds. The setting may also be found in your blog hosting software, as some give you the option of publishing full or partial posts. Since Feedburner gets the original feed from wherever your blog is hosted, Feedburner may be receiving a partial post and simply passing it along. Check those settings as well. Good luck.

Glad you decided to try Feedburner, i think you’ll like it. Full text feed just means that your subscribers can read the entire text of your posts in their RSS reader, rather than seeing only the first few lines and having to click through to finish reading the post. Basically it just makes it easier for your readers by eliminating a click. As far as I know, Feedburner displays the full text by default. You may have Summary Burner activated, which would cause the feed to be cut short at a certain number of characters. Check if it is activated at My Feeds > Optimize > Summary Burner. If it is, just deactivate it and see if that works.

Being new to FeedBurner, can you enlighten me as to what full text feed is, why I would want to turn it on, and where to find it? I searched all over FeedBurner and couldn’t find anything about it.

Now just turn on full text feed, and you’ll be set.
