I believ...Hi Eco,<br /><br />Thanks for asking the question.<br /><br />I believe I would setup two different FeedBurner feeds. The main feed would be for syndication to newsfeed subscribers, would use the post feed redirect, and would provide full feed content.<br /><br />A second FeedBurner feed would be for email distribution, would use "Email Subscriptions" under Publicize, and provide a "Subscribe by EMail" gadget for the blog. This feed could use the "Summary Burner" option under Optimize.<br /><br />I don't think that you can get the "search description" meta tags into the blog feed - but the FeedBurner "Summary Burner" should give you the ability to reduce email content.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-85435038752234551142015-10-21T13:36:21.256-07:002015-10-21T13:36:21.256-07:00I write a one-sentence summary for each of my blog...I write a one-sentence summary for each of my blog posts in the Search Description box, and I have no issues with it displaying when sharing the links on Facebook. However, I'm running into issues with my XML feed in Feedburner, which I'm using to send RSS-based newsletters with MailChimp.<br /><br />I want MailChimp to pull my post's search description as a teaser summary. They have the merge tag RSSITEM:CONTENT for the brief version, and RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL for the entire post. I'm using the Content tag, but it's pulling the entire post, because the XML file has my entire post under the tag.<br /><br />Do you know how to direct Feedburner/the original feed to display the search description in the tag instead of the full post? I'm fine with someone using an RSS reader to see my entire post, but I want an email that displays the summaries for a week's worth of posts, instead of the full text.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173503231572429432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-37664702654218281132015-06-05T19:10:05.800-07:002015-06-05T19:10:05.800-07:00Cassette,

Thanks for the comment.
You add search ...Hi Tony,<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />You add search description meta tags to every page or post, using the page / post editor - after you set a blog search description, using the dashboard Settings - Search preferences page.<br /><br />Meta tags are designed to emphasise the uniqueness of each page or post. You make each search description unique, for each page or post - and you word each one, carefully.<br /><br />Note the advice provided by the SERP Snippet Optimization Tool. You have a limited number of characters to work with - so make each character count!Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-61183675509109812532015-05-31T16:22:44.067-07:002015-05-31T16:22:44.067-07:00Hello Everybody,

But I'm really not sure how to do the description of each post. <br />My suggestion "MOD Lacquer Cerulean Light Beam swatches" is to best of my knowledge a precise description of the blog post - in this case it's also the same as the title of the post.<br />It's telling the name of the brand, the name of the individual polish from this brand and that the post is showing swatches.<br />If I understand you that also is wrong?<br />I'm sorry to be so much trouble...Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-30164844875223228302015-02-04T09:43:07.557-08:002015-02-04T09:43:07.557-08:00Tom,
