 * I am trying to add Images to the RSS feeds for each article. Every article from
   blog post may or may not have an image. If it has an Image i want to pick the
   first image and add it to my RSS feed. Else a default image in the RSS feed item
   for that post.
 * I have tried following codes:
 *     ```
       /* Function to add images in the RSS Feed Start: Date Added 4-15-2013*/
       function my_feed_thumbnail($content) {
           if (is_feed() && has_post_thumbnail()) {
               return get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), 'medium' ) . $content;
           }
           return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content', 'my_feed_thumbnail');
   
       /* function featuredtoRSS($content) {
       	global $post;
       	if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) {
       		$content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'full', array( 'style' => 'float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;' ) ) . '' . $content;
       	}
       	return $content;
       }
   
       add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
       add_filter('the_content_feed', 'featuredtoRSS'); */
   
       /* Function to add images in the RSS Feed End*/
       ```
   
 * Still none of these worked. My feeds at [http://feeds.feedburner.com/windowsvj](http://feeds.feedburner.com/windowsvj)
   does not have an image yet.
 * And yes i successfully pinged my server several times as well.
