Hey there Lifehacker RSS readers! Starting today, as passed down from above, Lifehacker's default RSS feed is switching from a full-item feed to an excerpt-only feed. Don't panic! You can still get the full feed back.

We fully understand the hypocrisy of a productivity site with an excerpt-only RSS feed, and the last thing we want is to require you to visit the site to read every single post if that's not what best fits your time. So if you're not keen on the new excerpt-only feed, the new full RSS feed for VIPs (that's all of you) is available here:

http://feeds.gawker.com/lifehacker/vip

If you want to continue getting the full-item Lifehacker feed, just swap the feed above with your current Lifehacker feed in your newsreader of choice.

For what it's worth, the new default feed was made to look more like the Lifehacker front page, so some of you may actually prefer its scan-ability. For everyone else, the full "VIP" feed above should do the trick.

Thanks for understanding, and our apologies for the inconvenience.

Update: Some people are seeing excerpts in the VIP feed and the full feed in what will be the default excerpts feed. If that's the case, be patient—the switch isn't quite instantaneous, and there may be a few hiccups while the feeds switch.
