 * I have searched for plugins for something like this, but no luck. I really want
   my 630×250 thumbs to be included in my RSS feed. Any information in general of
   how to modify a feed would be helpful. But specifically:
 * 1. Which rss/php file would I modify? There are several php scripts that deal
   with rss, so not sure which, if not all, files do I modify.
 * 2. what would be the language to define the thumb? It seems like it would go 
   between the <image> tags, but how is it written?
 * Hopefully this is not too advanced a question, but adding thumbs to my feeds 
   would really help boost subscriptions!

 * I have no idea if this will be of any use to you… But I use the post thumbnail
   feature that came out in WP2.9, not sure if that’s what you use. But then I include
   my thumbnail in my RSS using this:
 *     ```
       // THIS INCLUDES THE THUMBNAIL IN OUR RSS FEED
       function insertThumbnailRSS($content) {
       global $post;
       if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
       $content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' ) . '' . $content;
       }
       return $content;
       }
   
       add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
       add_filter('the_content_feed', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
       ```
