How can I add the feature picture to the rss feed?

the content width image is shown in the rss feed, do you want the container width image to show instead?

I only send the rss feed with excerpt. That is way there is no content picture.

Is it possible to add the feature picture (as used for tumbnails) to the post excerpt in the rss?

if you added the default image one of these 4 ways (and it shows on the single post page (and in thumbnail posts)) then it should work. Images added to the "Thumbnail image URL" input field will not be shown.

I'd like my post thumbnail images to appear in my RSS feed - They are a no show. I'm using feature images in my posts and have used the alternative default thumbnail post functionality too. I get thumb posts in my blog, but not in the RSS. What should I do? I'm using BF v1.4 + BFNav.

Thanks again, for an Awesome Theme.

I've checked my RSS feed for images using Outlook RSS, Google Reader, and Pulse (Rss reader/magazine for the iPad). None show the images. Is there something in the RSS feed code that I should look for, to verify that they are there?

I tested with the IE rss reader, and the images are shown. I noticed that container width images was shown if there was no sidebar in the blog though, and then the content width images was not shown, just like in the blog though. The default images was added with the "set featured image" functionality, something I recomend over adding and url or using the "default image" radio button in the uploader.
