## Description

This plug-in adds the post thumbnail of articles to the RSS and Atom feed via Media
RSS (MRSS) specification. Media RSS was
 invented by Yahoo as an extension to RSS
feeds used for syndicating multimedia files (audio, video, image). This plug-in 
adds the post thumbnail defined by author of the article to RSS and Atom feeds of
the blog. This plug-in activates the post thumbnail feature of WordPress, if the
theme is not doing it. It is enough to activate the plug-in to work, it has no configuration
parameters.

MediaRSS is a nice addition to your blog if you want to syndicate your content to
other platforms. More and more
 platforms and RSS feed readers support it. The Notes
App of Facebook recognize the post thumbnail and displays it in every newsfeed item.
