Then you may find the homepage excerpts WordPress plugin useful. I use it on my blog.

Yeah, the reason we use it is to keep the front page of oracleappslab.com more lively, i.e. more posts show not only above the fold but all the way to the bottom. A long post could dominate the entire page.

I guess we can put it to a vote.

Nice list. I'm definitely guilty of being lazy. I do not bother with partial feeds unless I have to, and usually I do not have to.

Many bloggers publish partial feeds because they think that this will *force* readers to click through and land on their blog. This is often not true. After blogging for more than two years, I have come to realize that if you want more readers, you have to set your content free and publish full feeds.

So, Jake, when are you going to get rid of this (more...) link in your feed? ;)

have a good weekend.

A bit ironic and a nice lesson in why Interwebs can be a nasty place.

The sploggers have got you - you will be assimilated into the splog collective!

Jake - you forgot the audience participation one -- I'm too lazy to do real work myself so I'll spend my time reading your blog instead.

Wow, and after I removed the splogs, Tim's comment is splogged. Awesome.

Yeah, I'm cleaning those up in a sec. The post on MySpace got splogged too. I think it was the Saw 4 part. Weird.

Hey Jake
You missed one - Splog - maybe a part of the underbelly of Web2.0 - the height of laziness, I'll just steal everyone else's hard written content - all of your trackbacks point to a perfect example. I wonder what search criteria they are using to scrape your entry - 'laziness' maybe :)
