Once again, full feeds work better

About once a year, I change some of my blog feeds from full posts to summaries, just to see what happens. Every time, my feed subscriber numbers fall. My latest experiment was no exception. My unique visitors also fell (and not just due to Thanksgiving), as did the amount of comments my posts received. Surprisingly

Of course, Feedburner is about as reliable as asking my socks for the numbers. I think there’s literally no one working there or assigned to monitor Feedburner – does anyone have a clue why Google wanted it? It’s like they’re just crunching the numbers it provides them… but the numbers are frequently inaccurate.

Ah, well.
