This post was written back in 2008, so that option didn't exist back then. Good to see it does now. :)

Much easier solution, as previous commenter pointed out: Just replace aweber's automatically-generated {!rss_item_description} in the aweber template (which, as you say, only gets the excerpt) with {!rss_item_content}. Problem solved.

I found this page on AWeber's knowledge base called "How Can I Send Entire Posts in My Blog Newsletters?". http://www.aweber.com/faq/q...

I did gave it a try for my blog broadcast and it works as it should. No need for plugins and hacking. Even images and links in the post works.

Now I have a dilemma. Do I send the full post or just the summary to my subscribers? Hoping someone can tell me the pros and cons of each.

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!

Wordpress 2.8 doesn't have an RSS2 file anymore.

Got a new hack yet?

Thanks!

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

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
Andrew

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 :)

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!

I'm still playing around with this idea and was wondering if this modification to the RSS feed has any SEO implications. Anyone know?

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.

This sounds really neat. I will definitely give this a try since I use wordpress. Thanks for the great information.
