images in feed.xml file
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 7:46 am
Hi all,
I've set up a custom static RSS feed file and linked it up with feedburner. When I update it with a new item people get the email as scheduled with title, date, description and link. But this is for a photography site, so I need an image to accompany the text with an image.
I have an image in the channel, which works but doesn't transfer to the email. And feedburner allows you to add a logo image but thats not ideal changing it for each email. I thought it would just be a case of adding <image>to each <item>, but it doesn't validate - or work!
Anyone know how to get this working?
Thanks,
Geoff
