   Hello All

   I currently have the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> on my index page and the <?php the_content(); ?> for my single.php page. It works fine in the web browser.

   However, when using a Feed Aggregator Reader (lets say google reader), it displays my single posts' contents. I would like to set the reader to retrieve the excerpts (for my single posts) instead.

   or perhaps I would like the feed reader to retrieve my index page only, not my single posts.

   how can i set this up?

   many thanks for any suggestions!

   set the feed option to excerpt in admin.

   Thanks Beel, that did the trick.

   I'm still puzzle about something though, concerning <?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>

   
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt_rss

   In that tutorial from codex, it said that that the_excerpt_rss() tag has to be in the loop.

   they're not talking about the loop from the index.php and single.php file, are they?

   I thought that tag suppose is located in the rss php files (such as wp-rss2.php), that we can tweak to get a different length of the excerpt?
