    Hello,
    I'm trying to use an image in my RSS feed.

    (http://onworldweb.com/rss/news_rss.xml)

    <?xml version="1.0"?> 
    <rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
    
    <title>Feed title</title>
    <link>http://www.onworldweb.com/</link>
    <description>Feed descripotion</description>
    <language>en-us</language>
    <copyright>Copyright 2006 onworldweb.com</copyright>
    
    <item>
    <title>Item title</title>
    <link>http://www.onworldweb.com/</link>
    <description>Item descripotion</description>
    </item>
    
    <image>
    <title>Image title</title>
    <url>http://www.onworldweb.com/rss/phone.jpg</url>
    <link>http://www.onworldweb.com/</link>
    </image>
    
    </channel>
    </rss>
    Code (markup):
    But when I read this either by Google personalized home or Safari Browser it displays just channel and item, not image.

    Will appreciate any help.

    what is your goal - to have your feeds-logo image displayed

    OR

    to have images included in the feeds items ??

    the first:

    myGoogle, myYahoo, myMSN etc dont show images in feed channels - my valiadate feeds also never show the feed logo

    for second above

    none of those "my..." pages include mRSS only the text part of the feed.

    mRSS = the item section looks of course MUCH different from above to make photo-thumbnails included in the RSS items and shown in all major RSS readers such as sage, Wizz, etc

    a valiadated mRSS item would look like:

    and the "header" section of above validated

    would look like:
