For quite a while I have been circling a conundrum regarding one of my team's blogs.  The RSS XML file exceeds FeedBurners limit of 512k.  Unfortunately, I do not have access to modify the blogging tools RSS creation utility.

The quick and dirty solution:

1. Create a new RSS XML file hosted elsewhere in which the content is a summary with a "read more" link.  The easiest way to do this is to copy the existing XML and edit it appropriately.
   
2. Now edit your RSS link and redirect your feedreaders to this new file.  In my case, I only have access to change the RSS link, but I can't implement redirects  :(
   

The unfortunate reality is that, unless you have access to modify your blogging tool, you will have to manually update this every time you create a new entry.  This isn't a big deal if you don't blog frequently (as was the case with the blog in question, and, as a matter of fact, my blog too!).

Another solution I toyed with was creating a new blog in which the entries were summaries with links to the original entries on the original blog.  This would take just about as much work, but being the cautious one, I was unsure of the effect on search indexing.  I figured it might not be a big deal since the main content wouldn't be duplicated and it would provide another internal link to the content which might actually benefit search indexing.  Definitely not a stunt I need to attempt.
