# Cusomise RSS feed

 * I have an RSS feed that I use for a newsletter. It takes the raw feed including
   a thumbnail image and uses any new items to automatically create the next mailshot
   via Mailchimp.
 * It works quite well, but the layout is a bit poor. Really I want the image left
   aligned in the feed. Currently you get:
 * RSS:IMAGE
 * RSS:CONTENT
 * Whereas it would be nicer to have:
 * RSS:IMAGE RSS:CONTENT
 * I can’t find a way to do this with any plugin so far. I’ve tried RSS Manager,
   which looks like it should do exactly what I want, but it seems to be broken 
   in the latest version of WordPress as it doesn’t get the thumbnail.
 * With the “RSS Image Feed” plugin, I get the thumbnail image, but it’s not left
   aligned.
 * Can anyone help?

 * In what? RSS feeds are not supposed to be read via a browser but via a dedicated
   feed reader. And there is currently no way to “style” feeds in a feed reader.
   The individual readers decide how to display feeds.

 * Well I’m horribly confused by the whole subject. What I ideally want is my posts
   thumbnail in my RSS feed so that my Mailchimp campaign can use the *|RSSITEM:
   IMAGE|* tag they provide.
 * Using the “RSS Image Feed” plugin puts a 150×150 thumbnail image in the feed,
   but Mailchimp can’t see it. So I don’t know what that plugin does, but I’m guessing
   it’s not standard.
 * I just need to figure out a way to get the thumbnail into my RSS feed so I can
   grab it in Mailchimp.

 * Have you considered using a MailChimp plugin instead?

 * I don’t see any MailChimp plugins that will help with RSS. They offer easy signup
   forms to subscribe. This doesn’t really help me, unless you know of one I’ve 
   missed?

 * The other thing is that my MailChimp campaign is all setup and running fine. 
   It’s just the RSS thumbnail image that is causing me the problem! I just need
   to get it aligned left so the text flows around it, I don’t care how that happens,
   but so far nothing I’ve tried works!

 * Look in the styles that are being applied to the e-mail template. 99% sure the
   issue has nothing to do with how RSS is sending the data, the issue has to do
   with how the data is being manipulated and displayed.

 * Right, so the fundamental problem seems to be getting a thumbnail image in the
   RSS feed correctly. What’s the easiest way to achieve that then?
