Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Attaching thumbnails to images already postedWell, I found a solution! When posting a new photo, you have to provide the absolute link to the photo in the ‘Excerpt’ field. To clarify, the ‘Excerpt’ field is available under the Advanced Controls of the Admin page. It’s as easy as that!
There’s no need for generating thumbnails. Now I have to figure out how to display thumbnails in my Firefox RSS reader. Perhaps there’s a plugin to enable that feature, or maybe it just isn’t capable of displaying thumbnails.

In reply to: Attaching thumbnails to images already postedAdding to what MsCantBWrong (MCBW) mentioned above, I searched the forum located at Daily Dose of Imagery, knowing from one of his entries that his thumbnails display in RSS readers. When I ran a search on “thumbnail rss” in his forum, I found that in his code for the feed, he includes the
<content:encode></content:encode>tags which contain in it<![CDATA[( ) ]]>.
I’m led to believe that because WordPress’ RSS generator does not include this in the RSS feed, the thumbnails are not displayed.I also found information via a Wiki called Roll Your Own RSS that mentions the extra code needed as outlined above. This could be the missing element needed to display photoblog thumbnails in RSS readers.
The question is how do we include or enable that in our WordPress-generated RSS feed?
