How to display item photo in atom feed?


I want to display a photo for each item in atom feed. I used this structure for my entry

<entry>
    <title>TITLE</title>
    <link href="http://page" />
    <id>http://page</id>
    <updated>DATE</updated>
    <summary>DESCRIPTION</summary>
    <content type="image/jpg" 
    src="http://image" />
</entry>

but when adding the feed in Google Reader, it will not display images. What is the best way to do so?


Solution

  • For Atom or RSS you need to enable hotlinking to your files for Google Reader to read them, as decribed at:

    Also, you may want to link this question to https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/ as you will need to make .htaccess modification and have Apache Rewrites enabled and configured.
