David Risley: How To: Putting the Full Blog Post Into An Aweber Blog Broadcast

  • Sean Grimes · 1 year ago
    This sounds really neat. I will definitely give this a try since I use wordpress. Thanks for the great information.

    Thanks for the hack. I was trying to figure this out myself all morning. You saved my afternoon!
    Thanks again !

    Thanks for this tip! Aweber still needs to add support for full posts naively, though, because I also want to use the shorter "description" field for weekly digest emails. Right now I can't have both a newsletter that sends daily full-post emails and another newsletter that sends weekly summaries of all posts.

    Plus, now I need to remember to go back and edit this file again after every WordPress upgrade.

    I'm still playing around with this idea and was wondering if this modification to the RSS feed has any SEO implications. Anyone know?
  • Tim Priebe · 1 year ago
    Great tip! I was looking for where this needed to be changed.

    Thanks tons!

    I agree with Tim's comment above, I'm not sure about what this does to SEO and have concern about that.

    Please give some input on that...

    In the meantime I've copied the code to WP v2.7 and hope it works!

    coming from a long time aweber user, it might be worth your while to change over to getresponse very soon. the new pricing model they are implementing is by far better than aweber.

    for 20$ a month aweber lets you have 500 subscribers, but getresponse lets you have 10000...just a thought. will reduce my bottom line a bit :)

    Thanks so much for this hack. I spent a WHOLE day sifting through Google, Wordpress docs and Aweber help files looking for a solution to this. Unbelievable!

    In WP 2.7 the 'Full Text' or 'Summary' feature simply does not work! No matter what I tried (from about 20 tests), I could not get the full content (including images and links) to display in my feed.

    I finally found a clunky solution by copying the post into the Excerpt window, and setting WP to 'Summary'. However, because the Excerpt window strips out all the HTML I had to export to Dreamweaver, add in all the HTML tags then copy and paste back into WP!

    This hack (if it works) will save me having to do this for EVEY post! Thanks very much.

    BTW, has anyone tested this successfully yet in WP 2.7?

    cheers

    Dude, I been looking all over for this. I made the change, do you know of a way to send yourself a test blog broadcast? I know you can do it with regular messages, but not blog broadcasts?

    Thanks for the tip

    Wordpress 2.8 doesn't have an RSS2 file anymore.

    Got a new hack yet?

    Thanks!

    I am using 2.8.4 and had no trouble doing the hack you describe to the RSS2 file - and voila! The full post in all its glory. You are, in fact, a star. I have been trying to get help on this for two days and having a solution like this is so incredibly helpful. Thanks!
