Feedburner Feed not displaying photo with each new entry

  husdal, the reason your WordPress feed only shows snippets is that you’re using Read More on every post. Your feeds are automatically truncated in that case. If that’s not what you want, then you need to stop using Read More.

  I want the Read More, and I’m fine with my feed and I’m not sure you’re right. If you compare to Lisa above, her WordPress feed also only shows snippets, and she is NOT using Read More, and her WordPress feed must be set to full since her Feedburner feed shows full posts. Simple deduction. If am wrong, I stand corrected.

  Here’s one, husdal

  Also, how do I set my entries to ‘read more’, so my page isn’t clogged up?

  Read More, see here: http://support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  As to the feed you mentioned, if you study the feed, it says ‘Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh’ under it. That’s a plugin for self-hosted WordPress blogs. We cannot do that on wordpress.com blogs. So the basic answer is, no, you cannot have a feed like that. And adding Read More to your posts will not change that, but it will make your front page look nicer (I think so) and certainly load faster because there are less photos to load.

  I do stand slightly corrected. Forgive me my ignorance, but I had no idea my WordPress feed was displaying so differently from browser to browser:

  FF – only snippets, no images
  Chrome – raw HTML as text
  Opera – raw HTML as text
  IE – full post with images
  Safari – full post with images

  I use FF mostly, hence my annoyance with seeing only snippets. In any case, Read More has no influence on how the feed displays.

  Thank you, husdal. I suppose the whole post with all images is what I have to acceopt until I host my own WP blog an can upload scripts.

  That said, The Read more worked, and after fixing all of my posts with it, I decided I preferred it showing more as the ‘read more’ was very small, and some might not pick up on it. so I changed it back and made sure to set ‘reading’ to only 3 posts per page so the site wouldn’t take as long to load :)
