I posted this once and then couldnt see it, anyway-
I have a wordpress blog and using BA, i can update it, but only headline and first paragraph import, not the entire article. Isn't it supposed to import the entire article?
Any healp would be greatly appreciated.
please have a look at my site http://www.healthinsurancenews.org |

This is probably because the feed you are grabbing is cut off.
If the original post from another blog that you are grabbing is using the <more> tag in the post then it also cuts it off in the feed.
Look for feeds where the entire post is shown. You can also see the feed by clicking the feed link - this way you know exactly what will be coming to you  |

the demo shows a yahoo feed, and it seems to be the same way. Wish I knew what I was missing here. I though virtually all blogs posted that way, and all the feeds i have seen are that way???
maybe a suggestion as to a blog can that can work, anything would be appreciated!!! |

yep, as damion said, probably the feed has partial content and not full content body. No, not all feeds are that way, but probably you just encountered one

There are thousands.
Looking for other blogs is what I did with mine. If it shows a full post on the main page of the blog then more than likely it will be full content. If you look at the feed before copying the URL you can see what it sends.
Using partial content is not bad either, as long as there is some good content before the cutline, then just add a footer to your BA with a link back to the originating site (giving credit is a good way to keep you out of trouble on potential copyright issues anyways). |
