04 · A feed carrying the whole text

The feed serves the whole entry, not a first sentence with a "read more" link. A reader who chose a feed reader has the right to read it all there; pulling them onto the site for every paragraph is a sales move, not a convenience.

The image is written three ways at once, with an absolute address. Not for elegance, but because readers and automations look at different fields: one takes the first, another the second, a third takes none at all if the address is relative. The thumbnail is the light preview variant that every entry has — including a text entry with no photograph.

The feed accepts a count parameter, so one address serves two purposes: a short list for a reader and a long one for a tool meant to see the whole archive. The address without a parameter stays at its default and does not change between releases — automations sit under it, and they do not take surprises well.
