The Macalope has received many, many requests for full RSS feeds. He has heard your cries and at long last he is able to say “Let them eat text!”

With this post, the RSS feed should contain the entire text of the post.

The Macalope is also working on putting some hopefully tasteful and Mac-oriented (is that redundant?) text ads into the feed (there’s no such thing as a free lunch) so if they don’t appear with this post, they should appear soon.

Oh, and the links have been changed to more readable descriptive links (but the old ones should still work).


You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Thanks, I’ve been waiting for this. I can take ads in the feed any day, as long as it is a full text feed.

Rejoice! Full RSS feeds!

Let us remember there is a comment feed as well for us in the nut gallery! (despite the address being incorrect in the footer of the site)

One day the whole web will exist inside RSS alone, and feed readers will become the new browsers. So a gnome told me.

Yes! And we shall call it castanet tuner…oh, wait.

Cheers Macalope, much appreciated.

All hail the Macalope! (Uh, I mean thanks.) Full-text feeds are always appreciated, and good work on the descriptive links, too.


A sad day: I unsub from The Macalope. « GracefulFlavor said:

[...] time, The Macalope had partial-text feeds on his original site. Eventually, though, he caved-in and went full-text, which was fantastic. For a brief period of time, birds sang and oceans were bluer. Now that [...]
