I am making some modest changes to the blog over the next day or two:
–Effectively immediately, the RSS feed will be summary-only rather than full content. You will have to click through to the website to read full entries. (The feed URL is unchanged; you can subscribe via any of the buttons in the left sidebar.)
–Ads will be placed a bit more prominently (i.e., higher up on the page). Don’t worry, there will of course be no pop-ups.
Thanks as always for your continued interest.

So I have to ask…
Is the ad location inspired by material gain or aesthetics?
And…
Is the feed change inspired by a desire to direct people to your ads, newly placed, or by copyright (splogging) concerns?
Scoble has a lot to say about full feeds. Somewhere…

Yeah, not a fan of summary only feeds, but I guess I get it if you're hoping to generate more ad revenue…

I sincerely hope you will reconsider publishing only summaries via RSS. I enjoy your blog a lot, but my slow connection combined with your heavy use of images and flash make the site itself load slowly for me. If I have to click through for every post, I would probably have to quit coming altogether.

I will concur with the other commenters regarding summaries in the RSS. I would rather see ad placements in the RSS than have to click through for every story, myself.
