[Update at end of article]
If so, I need you help trying to solve a little problem here. I’ve
received a few emails telling me that my RSS feed is showing only the
titles of my entries. This seems to be the case on the Mac, but not
Windows.
If you can, could you please look at my RSS feed and report in the
comments what platform you’re using, what you’re using to view the RSS
feed and whether you see whole articles or just the titles? Thanks.
Update:
It looks as though there’s a problem with the RSS feeds for a number of
Blogware-based blogs. The Blogware team’s looking into it right now.
Hopefully, they’ll be able to resolve the issue soon.

This morning I found in (OS X program) NetNewsWire Lite 2.0b23 that some older articles had reappeared with only headlines. I found the same thing at work in (Windows .NET Framework program) SharpReader v0.9.5.1.
Looking at your index.xml right now, it does indeed lack the body of your articles.
Windows user here, no descriptions in your feed.
Mac 10.3.8 NetNewsWire Lite 2.0b23
The full text disappeared yesterday, I think at the same time that all the posts in AccordionGuy suddenly appeared as unread.
Bloglines is showing different behavior:
All posts older than "Reminder: PUBLICity This Thursday!" show the full text, but the Reminder and more recent posts show only titles.

Mac user of NewNewsWire - only the headline, no body.
you need to include and excerpt of the beginning of the entry in a description tag. but rss protocol has a limit on how much you can put in the description field...if you exceed the limit, it's erronous rss and won't be read correctly.
Using rss2email on Linux. Yeah, it shows only the URL, no summary for your entries, AG.

Big Story
NewsFire on OS X; just the titles. When I grab the feed with curl, all entries have empty description elements.
I don't understand how some platforms could be seeing descriptions and some could not, since I don't see any descriptions in the feed itself (http://accordionguy.blogware.com/blog/index.xml).
Here's the RSS for this entry:

I get your blog through LiveJournal, Joey. And yeah, I've noticed over the past little while that only the subject comes through, along with the link. My OSs are: Windows XP Professional at work, and ME at home.
I get your feeds in Newsgator, in Outlook 2003, in Windows XP. As of yesterday (3/14/05) I was no longer getting full feeds from you.
