Full posts in email notifications?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Right now, whenever I publish a new blog post, only a quick summary of that post is emailed out. How can I change my settings so the full post shows up in emails to subscribers? Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Go here > Settings > Reading
    For each article in a feed, show
    _Full text
    _Summary
    click “save changes”

    You may be interested to note that when you provide full posts by email there is zero incentive for any recipient to actually click into your blog and create a page view stat, and perhaps even read something else creating an additional page view stat. I do the exact opposite of what you are doing.

    Scroll down on that same Settings > reading page and see this area>
    Enhanced Feeds
    Add to each article in your feed:
    Categories
    Tags
    Comment count
    Sharing

    Changes may not appear until you create a new post or your news reader refreshes.

    Also be aware that likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.

    Got it! And thanks for your thoughts, that’s a really good point I hadn’t thought about. Will have to reconsider now!

    Thanks,
