Does changing the RSS excerpt length of blog entries really work?

Hello,
Due to various problems[1] with the RSS feed contents that iWeb produces for blog entries I would like to limit each excerpt in the RSS feed to a small portion of the blog entry to encourage readers to visit the full post on my website. The iWeb help says that adjusting the "Excerpt Length" in the Blog portion of the Inspector will adjust the excerpt length on the blog summary page and in the RSS file. But no matter what I choose for the Excerpt Length, the text of the entire entry goes into the RSS file.
Has anyone else had any success in limiting the contents of the RSS feed? Is this a bug in the program or in the help text?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!

Sorry for replying to my own post, but I forgot to mention the problems I've had with the contents of RSS feeds of an iWeb blog:
1. inline images don't make it to the RSS feed, just the template default image (which I know how to replace, but sometimes I want more images in a blog entry)
2. hash characters (aka "number sign" or "pound sign" or "#") in a link URL get UTF-8 encoded to %2523 which browsers and/or servers don't seem to like. I discovered that when directly linking to a particulary .Mac Web Gallery album. The link works fine from the blog page, but not from the RSS feed. <sigh>

  • Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust a text clip and then have to copy and paste this each time. Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • IsSchemaValid does chang the xml-encoding header from UTF-8 to WINDOWS-1252

    I found the following effect:
    isSchemaValid does changing the encoding - entry of the xml-file-header
    generating xml-file by using DBMS_XMLGEN :
    xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
    with the header of the file is
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    change the xmldoc to a xmlType
    and validate it against the schema
    xmldoc_xmlType:=(xmltype(xmldoc)) ;
    xmldoc_xmlType.isSchemaValid ( bSchemalocation)
    after this the header of the file is

    It appear that your solution works in SQL because the semantics of SQL are such that it causes a 'copy' of the XMLType to take place before running the isSchemaValid() processing, were we to optimize away that copy as a result of a patch or performance optimization project then you solution would break...
    If you want the output in a particular character set you should force that using XMLSerialize or getBlobVal(charsetid). Unfortunately we don't have a convience method for writing BLOBS on DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR...

  • Confusion in Weblogic ReportsServer config without doing change the config?

    confusion in Weblogic ReportsServer config without doing change the config ?
    my env
    windows 2008 64 Bit
    WLS 10.3.5 64 Bit
    pfrd Forms/Reports 11.1.1.4 64 Bit
    after Install all and config my Forms and Reports
    the default reports server i found with
    http://wlog:8090/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo
    had a name
    RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan,
    I did run my Forms and reports well with RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT
    now some time later I found, that the reportsServer name is changed to
    rep_wls_reports_myserverhost_formsreportsinstance_1
    and I don't know, why ??
    I do start the WLS_REPORT by using the oracle-scripts using startManagedWebLogic.cmd
    In the WLS Admin Console there I can see the WLS_REPORTS Server is well started
    and after change the ReportServername in my forms to the 'new' servername
    I can start my forms with Reports again
    In the Enterprise Manager 11g under the reports-tree there are three entries:
    ReportsTools
    reports(11.1.1.2.0)(WLS_REPORTS)
    RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan ( the 'old' reportserver, that isn't started and not available )
    on Server in
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\reports\server
    there are two entries:
    rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1.dat
    and
    RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan.dat
    and in
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\reports\
    is in the reports_install.properties file :
    SERVER_NAME=rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1
    ORACLE_INSTANCE_NAME=Formsreportsinstance_1
    INPROCESS_SERVER_NAME=rep_wls_reports_wlog_formsreportsinstance_1
    what I have done, that can be the reason for now have two entries for reportsserver ?
    In the last days i worked to create the windowsservices
    to start the WLS_AdminServer and to start the WLS_FORMS / WLS_REPORTS
    ManagedServer
    and I changed the IP - Adress of the WLS - ServerHost, ( and back again )
    but didn't create a new ReportServer ore anything !
    what can I do, to fix this confusion ?

    Hello,
    In 11g , there are 2 Reports Servers created by default :
    - rep_wls_reports_myserverhost_formsreportsinstance_1
    The "in-process" Reports Server . WLS_REPORTS must be started and you can start this "in-process" Reports Server by just calling an URL like http://server:port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo or by using the menu in the EM web site
    - RptSvr_myserverhost_Formsreportsinstan,
    The Standalone Reports Server . You can start it using opmnctl command or using the menu in the EM web site

  • How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?

    How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?
    It seems to be going to one default folder every time I open that I didn't suggest.
    I'm using Bridge CS4
    Thanks ahead
    Line

    If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to autoload Bridge on Startup.  Either disable that option  in PS or shut Bridge down before you shut off the computer.
    Message was edited by: curt y
    If you always want it to start on a specific folder you can leave it on autoload, go to folder you want it to start on then exit Bridge.  It should load this each time in future.  Many of us discourage the autoload option as it can lead to other problems as well.

  • How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

    I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
    I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
    Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • HT1819 How would I go about changing the RSS feed for an already established podcast?

    Hello! My co-host and I have recently acquired a website for our show, and we'd like to change the feed for our podcast, but I'm unable to find any real way to do it. Can anyone give me an assist?

    Hi Bonesaw,
    Whether you grap or snap continuously is up to you.  If you don't care about viewing continuously you can snap continuously.  Another option is to use the IMAQ sequence VI which grabs a series of images.  You can then save those images without worrying about the buffer.  
    For the buffer you can use the Acquired buffer number output of the Grab acquire VI as the buffer input to your copy acquired buffer VI.
    The reason that only the last image is saved is because you are using the same file path for each save.  That means that you are overwriting each image when a new image comes up.  You can avoid this by building the file path and incorporating the increment counter in the file path.  That will give you a new file name for each iteration of the loop.

  • My computer broke, so I had to change the hardisk(?). Now iTunes dosen't work anymore. It says that the program is either lockes, on a locked unit or I don't have the right to open the library? Help please? :)

    My computer broke, so I had to change the hardrive-hardisk(?). Now iTunes dosen't work anymore. It says that the program is either locked, is on a locked unit or I don't have the right to open the library? Help please?

    Sometimes a restart can fix this issue, but sometimes you have to fix the iTunes Library.itl file.
    Try quitting iTunes, renaming the itunes file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library Old.itl"
    then open itunes again
    This should generate a new library file.
    From this point you can try two different avenues.
    1. Re-add everything to your library by going to the iTunes file menu, and selecting "add to library"
    2. You can try deleting the iTunes Library.itl you created, changing the name of the old file back to iTunes Library.itl
    I hope this helps. I did something like this a while back and it worked for me.
