Hey I have a blog which I want to post the entire article instead of just the description and top 2 sentences.
{feed:description}
Click Here To View Entire Article from Bulls Confidential ... ({feed:link})
This is the default that vB pretty much gives me. How can I make it so the entire article will show up in the post?
feed://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bulls-confidential/atom.xml is the link of the feed I wish to use.
I would appreciate the help!

If they don't put the entire article into the feed (take a look at the page source of the feed), then there is no way for you to get it. Not all RSS Feeds will send the whole article out since the intent is to get you to come back to their site and read the article.

It exists on that atom feed. The source reveals "<content ...>" and I guess it just didn't want to work.

They all have some <content> tag. But look at what is between those content tags - is it the FULL article or just part of it?

I could get the whole article by using content:encoded instead of description.

I just tested your feed on my forum and this works for the full article
template:
{feed:content}
More... ({feed:link})
Of course I had to change the "feed://" to "http://" in your link.
