There is a problem with Thunderbird 1.5 and Wordpress RSS feeds. If you are having problems getting the full text feeds, try a nightly build of Thunderbird. That fixed my problems.

Thunderbird 1.5 and Wordpress RSS feeds
Thursday, January 19th, 2006Full text feeds in Thunderbird
Monday, January 16th, 2006I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 1.5 and it looks like other people are in the same situation in regards to the full text feeds. The data is hidden in the content:encoded section.
Some thoughts about Scoble – wakeless.net
His feed has changed and it doesn’t appear to be a fulltext feed in Thunderbird I’ve looked at the feed and I know the data is there, but I can’t see it. I wonder how many other people this is happening to.
A very simple idea for improving search
Monday, January 9th, 2006Dave Winer’s idea for improving search:
Let me tell you where my weblog is. Then it knows what my interests are. Give me search results relevant to who I am.
That is a very cool idea, and I’d like to see the results from that search! It would also encourage people to start blogging, or blog more if they could improve their search results. If Google implemented this, I hope that they would allow you to use any URL as your identity, and not just a page in their blog network.
It’s somewhat related to the Outfoxed extension, but that only sorts the results from a Google search on a single page, ie it will move something to the top of page 1 only if it appeared on page 1 in the first place.
