I, as many other WordPress users, have encountered a problem with Full Text Feeds not actually showing on FireFox Live Bookmarks (the thingy that shows you the feed in a nice way) as full text, but are rather cut.

It seems this is not a problem at all. This is a feature in FireFox&#8217;s Live Bookmarks which simply shortens the text only on display. If you&#8217;ll look at the page source (View -> Page Source) you&#8217;ll the see the XML file of the feed and that the <description> tag contains the full text.

It seems IE7 doesn&#8217;t do that and shows whatever it is it needs to show.

Don&#8217;t be alarmed by this, your WordPress blog DOES show full text feeds.

If you really want to test this, go to a full blown RSS reader and put your feed&#8217;s URL and see that it does contain the full text.
