So where is your RSS feed link? Your FAQ say you have none. I'd like to subscrilbe.

Yes, the macosxhints.com RSS feed can be found at: http://www.macosxhints.com/backend/geeklog.rdf

I take it all back... It's working in NewsFire today.

Sorry

Sweet, how about some FULL TEXT for the RSS feeds now too? Partial text is soooo 2004. ;)

I'm not sure we'll ever go to full text, just given the length of some of the articles, as well as complexity of layout, occasional embedded QuickTime, etc. But it's certainly something we'll talk about the pros and cons of.

-rob.

Please, please, please - full text feeds. It isn't that complicated, really. And if you worry about counting your traffic you can use Feedburner.com to track your feeds.

I can see doubling or even tripling the length of the feeds, but the full text? If you want the full text of every article, there is a great feed called www.macosxhints.com .

I second THAT emotion!

Fulltext be nice but in lue of that how about we get the same length articles that appear on the front page. Then the experince is exactly the same as the website and requires one to click for the longer articles.

Which would mean I wouldnt have had to click to read the last 3 lnes of this tiny post :)

This is a really good suggestion and I second it.

Wahay! Well done MacWorld for giving you time to start the sites upgrades :)

Thank you! Now if I can only get VersionTracker to do this! :)

Thank you

Another 'Thank You' here too.

note that NetNewsWire allows you to keep headlines for an arbitrary number of days, globally and/or for each feed. This can be set by using the Show Info command on a feed, and setting the parameters in the Persistence section. The global setting is in the General tab of the NNW's preferences. I keep macosxhints headlines for 10 days after which they are removed from the list.

Awesome! Thanks! (And thanks to Macworld, too, who I'm guessing is bankrolling the increased bandwidth costs)

Also, I saw some suggestions to have feedburner.com manage your feeds.

If you are going to do so I would suggest you maintain control of your feed URL. They also have more technical information about redirects and such. This makes sure you can always leave feedburner, but you can still have access to the the logging utility of feedburner.
