No algorithm decides who sees a feed. A reader subscribes, the site publishes, and that is the entire relationship.

## Publish both

RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 are both a few hundred bytes of XML per post. Readers handle either, so publish both and let them choose. This site does: [feed.xml](/feed.xml) and [atom.xml](/atom.xml).

## Put the whole post in the feed

A feed that holds only the first paragraph trains readers to leave. Put the full text in; the reader who wants the page will click anyway.
