Couple of thoughts: I'm not a Blojsom user, but shouldn't you be able to set the number of posts that Blojsom puts in the feed? I see a Blojsom blog at http://www.entropy.ch/blog/?flavor=rss that seems to spit out all the entries as Atom, RSS 2.0, RSS, etc. Also, the Blojsom export pushes out a package of XML. You could use XSLT to convert to RSS: http://www.ejlife.net/blogs/john/2006/04/25/1146023865263.html Jason -- Jason Stirnaman OME/Biomedical & Digital Projects Librarian A.R.
