I’ve been asked why the syndicated version of the blog doesn’t contain the full-text of the articles the way many blogs do.

The answer, if you think about it, is pretty simple. I am syndicating what I wish everyone would syndicate. I mean, I have many different interests, and not all of them are going to match yours. Instead of blasting the complete text (and photos, where appropriate) of each blog entry, I syndicate a short capsule. If the reader is interested, they need only click the link in the syndication to read the full-text.

It’s also why long articles are broken on the front page; so casual readers aren’t subjected to huge amounts of scrolling, and those interested can follow the (more…) link and read on.
