    Hello. I’m syndicating my content to a large network, and they’re asking me to customize some elements of my feed. I’ve managed everything except this: they want me to include a <Website:thumbnail> [IMG SRC TO THUMBNAIL] </Website:thumbnail> so that every one of my items carries a thumbnail that can be recognized by their system and displayed on their page properly. I don’t know how to get the thumbnail code there. I tried pasting it in <php the_excerpt; ()>, and it worked, but simultaneously broke my <description></description> (it inserted the thumbnail there as well.

    I also tried to use custom fields, but everything gets wrapped in
    <ul> and <span> tags, which wouldn’t work. So, my question is how to get that filepath in there? Anyone can help? Please! 🙂

    I’ve been in contact with dponce through email, and though I believe he has his solution, I hate unresolved threads in the forums…

    <NewsAndReviews:thumbnail><?php echo $thumbnail[0]; ?></NewsAndReviews:thumbnail>
