The option to either opt-in or opt-out should be a given I think. On an RSS note, if anyone knows how to change a full feed into a partial one at the aggregator-end, PLEASE let me know. My clumsy attempts are wreaking havoc in DEV. Fair enough. The option to either opt-in or opt-out should be a given I think.

I can't add or subtract! :) Your spam prevention lost my comment. :( Briefly, images are a huge drawcard and help break up the text. I think an alternative you could use is to make your spider take a screen capture of the blog the post came from and display that. tailrank.com does this reasonably effectively. As for my reasons for not adding myself to australianblogs yet, see my blog and why comet aka vox disappointed me. Keep up the good work, Craig. Argh!

Rorting other peoples' content is not what I want us to be known for :) I'll see what I can do with the image tags though my initial reaction is that pictures are a real drawcard for the truncated blog post perhaps one that pushes the lurker into clicking on the blog link? What do you think? Working on the RSS. Might be the last thing that gets released. Code is so messy as you might have noticed (I think there is a rogue <div> tag somewhere today...) Loved your blog BTW. Why haven't you listed it on AustralianBlogs? Jon Hey Craig,

Another question is whether you should be stripping image tags from the item content. I see the posts are still displaying images where used. This too is an area that may, sadly, be considered problematic. Especially considering those images aren't cached on your server and probably shouldn't be with respect to copyright. Request; can I have an RSS feed for the site? Cheers. Hi Jon, (I hope thats the correct name)
