I am fairly new to the whole RSS feed thingy, and as mentioned I only just switched to full-text. I kinda thought that “excerpts” was the way to go, not only to readers, but to not hammering the server with RSS requests…
My default has been the RSS 2.0 full-content feed for a while. Have you been reading long enough that you’ve been subscribed to the old feed, maybe? Or did I mess something up?
Well, you could turn off the excerpting feature from inside the admin, but yes, in order to offer both feeds, the wp-rss2.php will need to be changed. I will post a small tutorial soon.

The default in the next version of WP is full feeds.

Once nothing is changed, the headers sent prevents “good” feed readers from downloading everything over and over again.
The default looks like it is the excerpted posts. FoF might be wrong though, I will have to look through your markup.

I just enabled full text today. The main benefit to me, was that links wasn’t stripped out.
But how is that done in wp ?
Do we need 2 wp-rss2.php files ?
