I found an option in the control panel that lets me choose to show the summary or the full text in the syndication feeds. I received some complaints because the full text wasn’t always showing up in the feed. I realized this happened when there was no summary or excerpt filled out for those entries, so it would use a certain number of characters from the beginning of the full text as the summary instead.
I have chosen to leave it on the Excerpt option and be more conscious of filling the summary out since some of my posts have a tendency to get rather lengthy in their entirety.
So for the 2 or 3 of you who actually set this site up on an RSS feed, there is the answer to your queries.
Oh and as near as I can tell, links don’t translate through on the syndication.
