Welcome to /c/blogging!
This is a community for posting interesting, insightful, or even personal blog posts. You can advertise your own blog, or share other blog posts you find interesting.
Since this is the programming instance, expect many posts to be related to computer science. General blogs are still welcome as well!
Rules:
-
Don't be rude. Duh.
-
Don't spam your own blog. Try to limit self-promotion to only once or twice per week.
Looking to start your own blog? Check out Bearblog, Write.as, WordPress (which you can host yourself as well).
If you're tech-savvy, check out Hugo!

It's your discretion if you want to include the full content. Many people consuming RSS feeds are annoyed when the full content isn't included. I'm not sure why the other poster thinks that most RSS readers cut off content at 1000 characters.
Also, the Atom syndication standard is a widely accepted format that's often just called RSS. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4287
Thanks for sharing that website. Thats the best I've seen the spec explained. I don't monetize my blog and don't ever intend to so I don't see why I wouldn't just include the full content if I can get my script to easily export a stripped down version without some of the formatting meant to make it look better on the full site.
Amusing fact, the Atom standard was created because people thought that the rss board standards for RSS weren't described well enough.
