I'm finding many sites, when viewed within an aggregator get all sorts of screwed up. Mainly because the reader program's preview area is considerably smaller than that of a full screen browser.

So what to do about this? I'm thinking it might be solvable by using RSS-specific links. That is, give the permalinks URLs that are designed to be shown within a reader.

Or, hmmm, this might be smarter, use a media display type that a reader can detect.

Just a thought. I've been running a crash-course of RSS reader setup/use and, frankly, they're coming up WAY short.
