Whether to use full feeds or partial feeds is still an endless discussion. When I decided to switch to full feeds from partial feeds, one problem which I faced was that, all the entries which I made until yesterday were stored in partial format by Feedburner and from this one onwards, it would be very unpleasant for a reader to see both of them mixed together. But since I am using Feedburner to manage my feeds, it was very easy. So if you also want to move to full feeds, here is how to do that.

1. Login to your Feedburner account.
2. In the top, you will find a link “My Feeds”. Click it.
   
3. Then it will show the list of feeds you are managing.
4. Click on the feed title and it will take you to the details page.
   
5. Then click Troubleshootize tab.
   
6. Last, there is a button to ReSync your feed. Just click it.
   

Now you have successfully moved from partial to full feeds. This is applicable for moving to partial feeds also, from full feeds. So why does this happen? Feedburner keeps a cache of the feed you are serving and it updates only the new feeds. So we are essentially clearing the cache maintained by Feedburner.
