vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Why isn't there any description in my RSS

Hmmm, its almost a pointless feature without any options. Most of the RSS feeds I've tried don't have descriptions, and I don't want to put the full length article in the thread because it isn't my content nor do I have formatting options. So its either a thread with no content, or a thread with too much content which gives no reason for the reader to view it on their own website.

Perhaps I need to investigate the commotion regarding 'AboutToday' plugin as some sort of solutiuon.

It'd be great to get someone to whip up a quick addon to allow users to format, and modify how the content appears in the RSS thread (images, formatting, cut off points, redirects etc) should they choose to display the whole RSS feed. How do I go about doing this?
