Reader’s default way to display a post is OK for some blogs but disastrous for mine.  In general, it is all too easy to get the default, rather than a display with the author’s actual theme and formatting.

If seen in Reader’s default rendering, the body of this post starts with a suggestion to click on the [View original] button.  If this post is seen as it should be seen, that suggestion is replaced by white space.  There may well be a more elegant workaround, findable by consulting the “happiness engineers” and/or careful study of blogs not mangled by Reader’s default.  But I won’t have time to go down that rabbit hole in the foreseeable future.
