 * Sorry to hijack this thread, but I have a partial solution. The following will
   add your content to the feed.
 * `<?php echo $item['description']; ?>`
 * **Can someone help us add the date? I’ve already tried the following to no avail:**
 * `<?php echo $item['pubDate']; ?>`

 * instead of pubDate use pubdate
