Thanks to Josh’s reminder, I went back and followed the directions Kevin had pointed to about making MT’s RSS feeds validate and include the whole entry. Now the feeds from the new site should be full-content feeds. Eventually maybe I’ll add the comments link to the feed as well, we’ll just see how things go…
