# Problem with RSS thumbnail code

 * I have tried the different codes there are out there to include a thumbnail in
   the RSS feed and they do insert the thumbnail in the feed but when I view a post
   with a thumbnail attached to it on my website, the post excerpt is showing up
   on the top of the page before the wrapper.
    Does anyone know why this is? Thanks
   Erik
 * // THIS INCLUDES THE THUMBNAIL IN OUR RSS FEED
    add_filter( ‘the_excerpt_rss’,‘
   voodoo_insertThumbnailRSS’ ); add_filter( ‘the_content_feed’, ‘voodoo_insertThumbnailRSS’);
   function voodoo_insertThumbnailRSS( $content ) {
 *  global $post;
 *  if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) )
    $content = ” . get_the_post_thumbnail(
   $post->ID ) . ” . $content;
 *  return $content;
    }

 * However I guess nowadays the meta tags are’nt as important for seo traffic right?

 * Meta description is still used by Google along with the initial content of your
   pages but for the most part keywords are ignored.
