I want excerpts of my blog to appear on another website I own. I'm using front page 2002. When I insert the code from syndication, the except appears, but so does some extra code... as a test, I tried the rss here and got the same results

this does NOT happen when I use the code from about.com

what am I missing?

thanks

Anne W

It looks like About.com's feeds only show excerpts and not the full article. Our RSS feeds show the full article.

It seems to be common that commercial organizations build their RSS newsfeeds with excerpts in order to require you to visit their website - they don't want to miss out on any potential ad revenue - where bloggers and blogging tools tend to include complete articles in their RSS feeds.
