I’ve now wrapped the code in code tags. Unfortunately wordpress seems to make it difficult to do some of these things. I’ll have to find some neat way of doing it - as every time it annoys me.

I read planet mysql from the browser

I read it from the website, but I like the full article there. I don’t want to have to click to read the article, that’s why I read the news feed! If I wanted to click I’d just click on all the planetmysql blogs and read each one separately.

I hate having to click again, when I can just scroll down to the next person’s entry really easily (I like using the keyboard, so I pgdown until I see a break).

i read planetmysql from the website.

if people were using atom properly, they could include both a short summary and the full article, and both could be included in the feed. then the website could show the summary and make the full article available (perhaps with some ajax magic).

but what annoys me more than some of the really long articles are the silly feeds that include all sorts of extraneous links on each entry, like a copyright notice and links to add to del.icio.us, etc.

or people who blog code snippets without wrapping them in or
