 * Hi
 * I’m displaying the following feed on the sidebar of the homepage:
    [http://www.purplecircle.co.uk/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.purplecircle.co.uk/blog/?feed=rss2)
 * See top right at the main site here:
    [http://www.purplecircle.co.uk](http://www.purplecircle.co.uk)
 * This is the main site for our agency, not a blog. The blog is located at [http://www.purplecircle.co.uk/blog](http://www.purplecircle.co.uk/blog).
 * Currently using the standard WP RSS widget. I’d like to include a thumbnail in
   the RSS feed (after title, before content if possible), but can’t seem to find
   a way to do this. I’ve tried all the ‘better rss’ or ‘image rss’ pulgins but 
   the closest I got was displaying thumbs from the main site, not the blog site.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi. I’ve had very good success with this solution: [http://blog.wardelldesign.com/word-press/add-images-wordpress-feed/](http://blog.wardelldesign.com/word-press/add-images-wordpress-feed/)
 * The problem is that if the first image is huge, the rss feed becomes huge, so
   I’m planning to customize the solution by looking around for some thumbnail-generating
   plugin and use the image from that in the feed.
