@Manton Suggestion for M.B: I know there are workarounds, but it’d be really great if there was an alternate feed for the main blog that excludes short posts (i.e. posts without titles). It would make integrating with other services like Amazon’s Author Central and GoodReads Author Blogs so much easier, since they do not gracefully handle untitled posts.

@Lioncourt Thanks. I think the best way to do this is to use a category, since we've recently improved category RSS feeds. You can create a filter that automatically adds full blog posts to the category. (Maybe I can write up a tutorial for this.)

@manton I’ve used filters before, and I just set this one up as you suggested. I think if you just made it clear when creating a new filter than the Title/Body match fields can both be empty, that would be enough. It didn’t occur to me that making a filter with no match strings was an option. This is a much better workaround than what I was doing, so thanks for that. 👍

@Lioncourt Great! Yeah, I need to make that more clear. (And add some more documentation.)
