Quick'n dirty : make WordPress post entirely available on planets

5

Category : English, General

Here is a tip if you use WordPress on hosted services (i.e. no access to source code) and your blog post aren’t appearing entirely on Planets.

When your post is finished, click on the Preview button. Highlight your article’s content, right-click on it and select View selection source (probably different if you use something else than Firefox). Then simply copy and paste the HTML code in the Summary text box which is under Advanced options, almost at the bottom of the page where you write/edit your article.

That way, you will force the description tag in the RSS file to contain your article. Indeed, some Planet aggregator extracts the text from this tag rather than from content:encoded which WordPress uses for storing post.

Or just apply this patch and don’t bother doing the above:

Okay WP stripped the tags, so lets do it this way:

Also I just realized that you probably don’t have access to your WP setup since you are on wordpress.com, so that won’t probably work for you.

Indeed. I should have precised it’s more for hosted services like wordpress.com (which some people on Monologue seems to use).

Are you sure you don’t want I host your blog ?? :p

I will, if you want!
