Setting a key mark on the calendar

I use Feedburner to send out the RSS feeds for this site, and I made a configuration change today. Instead of sending full text in the feeds, now sending Summary only - first 200 characters for Updates (just to get a look/feel sense of things), and first 500 characters for my Thoughts blog.

Key reason - while my AdSense numbers are never worth writing home about, there is a definite trend down over past few months, while my traffic / page hits / feed hits going up. I also know that a relatively small number of folks are subscribing to the feeds, but I'm not about to put AdSense in my feeds, so might as well get folks from the feed readers to get over to the site and take a look.
