Default About the RSS-feed

The RSS-feed at http://www.adventuregamers.com/rss.php is a little sparse in my opinion. It is nice that you have a rss feed, but since you don't include the body of the news it is rather useless, at least for me.

It would be very nice if you would include the body of the news-items too.

The feed isn't meant to take the place of visiting the site. That's why we include the <link> element.

The problem is that just the headerline says very little about the content and if I have to use the browser to see the content of every news item anyway it rather defeats the purpose of the RSS-feed. It would be good with at least an outline of the news-item in the RSS-feed. It would be good if full articles also were present in the RSS-feed (with a short outline, I don't expect the full articles to get into the feed).

It is perhaps good if I tell you the real purpose of my questions. My intention is to import the RSS-feeds into another forum-like place I use called LysKOM. I think this also would mean that you get more visitors to AG, since some more people become aware of your articles and news-items.
