On syndicated feeds

[tamaranth]

I'm starting to think that setting up feeds to my non-LJ blogs was a bit of a mistake.

Are there ways to get around the following?

- posts only go back a week or so -- not to start-of-feed
- no email notification of LJ comments on the feed (which are presumably lost when the posts drop off the back of the feed)
- no way of updating syndication parameters, such as whether to display the whole post or just the top few lines ...

If you've left a comment on something and I never responded, I may not have seen it. (The only way I can think of to get around this is for people to click through and comment on the original non-LJ posts!)

For the first two -- no, if you're updating elsewhere and using a feed, you'll only get recent stuff here, and since no-one "owns" the feed itself, there's no recipient for comment notification emails.

As for the third thing -- the source of a feed can be changed by contacting the boys and girls in support (http://www.livejournal.com/support), but only if the feed no longer works. See FAQ 150 (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=150).
You may be able to change how much of each post is "fed" by changing parameters at the source end, on the non-LJ site.

annoying not to have any control over a feed that I created!
