Hi there,
I'm visually challenged and I'm so glad you confirmed I was not hallucinating.

Hi TT,

I think it's a case of internet magic. I had assigned categories to each post hours ago, I've done nothing since and they just appeared!

Thanks anyway

Ideally they'd be just above the title of each post...

I'm so sorry. I just looked at ytour blog again and there are Categories displaying on the posts and in the feed. I apologize and frankly I'm confused because either I was looking at the wrong blog before or they just appeared magically. Example > http://jonnysportfolio.wordpress.com/category/branding/

All wordpress blogs have multple built-in feeds.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/
This is your RSS feed URL for posts http://jonnysportfolio.wordpress.com/feed/
This is your RSS feed URL feed for comments http://jonnysportfolio.wordpress.com/feed/
This is and example of the syntax for a categories feed http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/better-blogging/

You have some sample posts on the blog but you failed to assign categories/tags to them. Until there is one published post in any category/tag there's nothing that can be displayed in the categories or tag's feeds. See here for assigning to your posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

Hi there,

I'm using Imbalance 2, and the categories for each post aren't showing on the the home feed. Ideally they'd be just above the title of each post... (Please note, I don't want the categories to appear anywhere else E.g on the menu bar)

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

Using http://blog.inliniac.net/feed/atom/ instead of the .../feed/ variant solved the planet issue. All issues resolved.

Thanks for your input thesacredpath!

The feed shown in feed widgets/thingies will probably not update till a new post is published. I've seen that before. The feed thingies look for new content and if they don't see any, they don't refresh the feed display.

If I change the "Syndication feeds show the most recent" setting and reload the http://blog.inliniac.net/feed/ in firefox I see it change. The page show the number of entries I configured. That makes me think caching is not an issue.

Just tried liferea and there it looks fine. I guess firefox just chooses to display the "description" instead of the whole post.

This leaves only an issue with displaying the feed in our "planet" site: http://planet.suricata-ids.org/ It worked fine on my selfhosted wordpress 3.4.1. Will talk to the admin to see if it's a setting there or that it can be reloaded or something.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what is going on then. I'm seeing full posts in Safari 5.1.7.

Thanks for checking. I'm a bit confused now. When I open the feed in a new browser that didn't visit the feed before, I still see the first sentences followed by "continue reading".

In Chrome the XML does show both an excerpt (<description> and the whole body it seems (<content:encoded>).

I'm seeing full posts on your feed right now. I clicked the "read more" link on a couple of the posts in your feed and checked and I'm seeing the whole post. You might clear your browser cache and then take another look. Sometimes it can take a little while for the change to show up, but typically less than an hour.

Some feed readers (Google reader, etc.) though may not update until after you publish a new post. Most don't do anything until they see new content and even then sometimes it may take a little while for them to refresh the entire feed in their indexes.

Hi all,

I just migrated to wordpress.com. Previously my blog was self hosted. Everything seems fine, except for one detail.

Even though in the dashboard -> settings -> reading I have set "For each article in a feed, show" to "Full text", the feed at http://blog.inliniac.net/feed/ still only shows the summary.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!
