How many posts in RSS?

I can’t decide how many posts I should include in the RSS Feeds I create for my blogs (and other parts of my sites). From what I see most seem do 10, 15 or at most 20 posts in their feeds.

Any reason why you would not do much more, like 100+?

I do 5 to 10 and summaries only, hoping that they’ll find the summary interesting enough to come visit, and buy. I think, personally, too many at once, and in full context, is counter productive & overwhelming. But that’s just me. :smiley:

I usually run about 10 at a time and then I throw in a few handwritten ones, when I can.

If you set the feed to more than 25 then dynamic directories that use the feed url like my www.gayblogfinder.com can’t pull in your rss url. 25 is the limit it will take.

Ah ok, that’s good to know!
