1. Fix the feed. It looks like WordPress and Google Reader have agreed to disagree, so WP will have to be hacked. I don’t have time right now.

2. What needs to be fixed? Just removing that colon-separated part of the content tag (IIRC)?

3. The root of the issue is that RSS 2.0 is an ambiguous spec (probably because it was written by a monkey). WordPress interprets the spec as the description element should contain a preview and content:encoded should contain the full post. Google Reader interprets the opposite (or, rather, it simply displays whichever one of those elements comes first in the file).

   The PHP file that produces the feed needs to be modified to suppress content:encoded. I can’t find lots of instructions for modifying earlier versions of WordPress. But I don’t have good enough file access to figure out how to do it in the spaghetti that is WordPress 2.8.

4. Cool, thanks.

   B-Rhymes and I are doing Drupal stuff today (including a test install on this site). I’ll fix it then (er, shortly).

5. Alternate fix: repoint the RSS feed to the Atom feed.

6. Hmm, Atom is a lot better designed than RSS 2.0. It hasn’t been widely adopted but it is widely supported. I vote Atom. Here’s how to do it?
