Feedwordpress, is how to NOT use a feed correctly. Most BLOG readers use a description field for the posts, not the feed. So, lets say the sponsor has a hosted gallery feed. The ONLY way the feed will work in wordpress is if the sponsor wrote the entire post, with the photo, and parsed link, for the webmaster. Even if I have description tags, a thumbnail tag, links, ect.. wordpress will ignore all the fields, other than that description tag.
Webmasters have no room to complain. First, you yell at us for the feeds, then yell at us fully populate every field in the feed, yet you never take the time to learn how to properly use the feeds yourself.
Learn how to properly use the technology, then you can complain.

well, it isn't just feedwordpress, it is most of the rss software out there, it will take the title and turn it into the permalink...that is STANDARD for rss software, ALL of them....as long as the permalink feature is turned on wordpress, it will take the title of the rss post and turn it into the permalink
I have been working with blogs and rss for a long fucking time now and to say I don't know how to use them is rediculous...
it is funny though, the sponsors that have great blog rss feeds that contain great content and proper keywords are getting tons of action, but the sponsors that give us total shit keep coming and asking why webmasters aren't using them
if everyone is using feedwordpress, would it make more sense to go along with them instead of bitching about everyone using that?
btw, I can complain whever I fucking want, it is a beef that I, and others, constantly have....
