Anyone have any issues with Yahoo Pipes?

I'm trying to add yahoo pipes automatic rss feeds to my blog. I thought I installed it correctly but every time I "run" a pipe and try to get content I get incomplete content. Articles get posted to my blog with 2 lines of content. What did I do wrong?

    Have you run the pipe and checked the output when viewing it as an actual RSS feed?

    You may need to burn the pipe feed through FeedBurner and use that instead of the raw pipe output.

      I just use Jeff Johnson's tool at totallyfreeblogtools. I just enter the keyword and copy the rss feed and paste it into the feedwordpress plugin.

      Every single piece of content is incomplete.

      How do I check the output? Just copy and paste it into the browser url?

      How would I burn it through feedburner?

    In Yahoo pipes you can run the pipe to get the results.

    When you have the results there is an 'More options' link and if you click that you will see 'View as RSS'.

    That will show you what the RSS feed looks like.

    To burn it through FeedBurner, just copy the RSS feed url and paste it into the box on FeedBurner than follow the instructions.

      Tim,
      Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to burn it through feedburner? It just seems like I am missing something by getting only the beginning of the article?

    Ok so another question. I took the RSS feed from ezine articles and syndincated it and I am only getting half of that content as well?

    What am I doing wrong?
