Supply an image thumbnail with my RSS feed

I want the images in my RSS feed to be displayed so that if the feed is taken into Facebook my page will show the image with it.

This is my RSS feed: 

<item>
<title>Title</title>
<link>www.website.com</link>
<guid>www.website.com/1/</guid>
<description>Description</description>
</item>

Do I add <image></image> and just stick the URL in? Or should I use <media:thumbnail>?

I don't want the image to be the main content but instead have it show as thumbnail preview like when sharing a webpage on Facebook.

Solution 
  • <image> 
              <title>Hello World</title> 
              <url>imageurl.gif</url> 
              <link>http://sitelink</link> 
 </image>

    Hope this helps.
