It looks like a generic, default Wordpress install. But that simple page provides a great tool for turning crappy partial text RSS feeds into actual, worthwhile (read: full text) feeds.

I’ve used this for two sites so far: the Freakonomics blog and Rock Paper Shotgun. Great sites, but their crappy RSS feeds (Freakonomics’s especially) caused me to read them far less than I should.

It doesn’t work on every partial feed, but it works on many of them.

Partial text RSS feeds are the biggest affront to the Internet since the <blink> tag and ActiveX. They are not to be tolerated.
