So, long story long, we have a bit of a problem with RSS scrapers using our feed to set up bogus mirror sites (basically steal our content). We truncated the feed, but we (and I) didn't realize people actually read the whole thing via RSS. Silly, maybe, I just can't stand reading that way (especially long articles) and always click through, and we'd gotten complaints from people who just wanted preview RSS anyway.
So, we have to figure out a better solution, no doubt about it. We're on it, and I hope to have it solved this weekend (apologies for the delay, I try to be thorough and explore all options).
If anyone has any other feedback, please send it my way, it's much appreciated.
(BTW- We also didn't realize the sponsor/ads weren't showing up in the feed before -- obviously something I need to learn myself on!)
