Here's a tip for those of you who may be just getting into reading weblogs via a newsreader or some other syndication system like Bloglines.

Do you like full-content feeds rather than just excerpts? Well, if the site you'd like to syndicate is a Movable Type blog, but there's only one RSS link on the page and it's excerpt-only index.rdf file, chances are the author never changed the default feed templates. Most likely this means that their site is dutifully sending out a default Atom feed as well, which just happens to be full-content! Just change the link from http://whatever.com/index.rdf to http://whatever.com/atom.xml, and subscribe to it! You might be in business.

Other benefits of the default MT Atom feed over the default MT RSS feed: links are preserved, and things like photos posted from Flicker are formatted correctly. It'll streamline your feed reading considerably.
