I've been trying to get RSS feeds to populate my WordPress blog, but I'm finding that a lot of feeds eliminate the content.
You get the Subject, description, author, date, etc. but the content is missing in a lot feeds and it looks terrible on a blog. I'm not sure what good a blog post is without the entire article or news item other than to drive traffic to the source.
For EzineArticles et.al. I thought it was a nifty way to grab the article content, but it doesn't appear to be at all.
Am I missing something here?

    What you're finding is partial text RSS feeds, that only provide a snippet of the full content within their RSS feed. There *are* full text RSS feeds out there I guess it just takes some digging around. I haven't done a lot of searching on this yet except for one tight niche but I can feel your frustrations. Have you tried out rssmountain.com? I've been finding some full text feeds on there.

    Good luck,
    Karen

      Thank you. There seem to be few full feeds around. Not what I expected at all.

    Has anyone tried syndicate kahuna - I signed up for a test run for getting some 'auto blogging' content and it seems to work quite well. Just wondering if anyone else has used them? I'm wondering it this is owned by a Warrior - can't think where I found out about it except perhaps in a post here on this forum. Anyway, it's an interesting service.

    I get frustrated trying to set up RSS feeds to work properly, as well. It's not as easy or as efficient as it sounds.
