 * Hi,
    I want my wordpress RSS to show other information (category name) besides
   the default title, link etc. Is there anyway to do this?
 * I tried editing my wp-includes/feed-rss2.php like the following.
 *     ```
       $cat_name = "";
       $cats = get_the_category();
       foreach($cats as $cat){
           $cat_name .= "$cat->cat_name ";
       }
       ?>
       <cname><?php echo $cat_name; ?></cname>
       ```
   
 * And tried to display the value with JavaScript.
 *     ```
       for(var i=0; i<rss.feed.entries.length; i++){
          var entry = rss.feed.entries[i];
          document.write(entry.title);
          feedHtml += '<li>';
          feedHtml += '<a href="' + entry.link + '">' + entry.cname + entry.title + '</a></li>';
       }
       ```
   
 * It failes, and i cant see any <cname> in my rss feeds and of course i go the 
   undefined error when i tried to display entry.cname.
 * I bet i’m doing it totally wrong.
 * Can someone please enlighten me on how to add additional information to the RSS?(
   in my case, category name)
 * Thank you.
