I am quite new to DNN and I've been tossed onto an issue with the Blog Module of our site.  The Blog entries' bodies aren't being included in the RSS feed. I have checked the "Include Body" option, but that didn't work.  In fact, no matter what settings I set, in the Blog Settings or Module Settings, regarding RSS, it seems that I have no control over the feed.  I have tried to find if there is another module that is controlling the feed of the Blog Module, but, as I am quite new, I can't find anything.  Can anyone shine some light on this issue please?

Are you providing Descriptions in your blog posts? I believe the module by default uses the description, unless of course you don't provide one.

 Yes.  I provide a title, summary, and description.  Another weird thing, that I forgot to mention, is that if I don't provide a summary, the description is fetched properly, as long as one exists.  It seems like the RSS feed first checks whether a summary exists, and then uses the summary in the <description> node of the feed.  But if a summary doesn't exist, it uses the description/body instead.

Sorry, when I said "description" I was referring to the Summary field. So that is the desired result

Do you mean the Blog Module isn't supposed to provide the body of the entry in the RSS feed if there is a summary?  What about the "Include Body" option within the settings?  I've tried checking that on and it doesn't change.
