A new variable regarding the length of articles returned by MachiniFeed has been added to the feed customization options. The customizer form has been updated, or you can incorporate it into your manual querystrings if you like. The default value is the same as it has been: 100 characters per article. So no change is necessary for existing custom feeds. If you wish, you can specify a value of less than 100 characters using this new “DCHARS” variable, or you can increase to up to 500 characters per article. Click here for more information.

Thanks, Anthony Bailey, for the idea!
