- Feed your Image via Atom or RSS
- This quick tutorial explains how to add images to both Atom and RSS feeds. Although both formats allow for image-inclusion, feed-reader support for image-display is currently quite limited. Hopefully, that will change in the near future..
Images for Atom Feeds

- Feed Tester
- Ignore this post..
[Edit] Note to WP 2.0.5 users: Everything was working fine on this site before upgrading to WP 2.0.5. After upgrading, apparently, our feeds stopped validating* and the BDP RSS Aggregator plugin refused to update our own feeds. After several hours investigating the situation, we determined that the Live Comment Preview plugin was interfering with our feeds validating, while the upgraded WordPress (2.0.5) was responsible for problems with the BDP plugin.
Here is a copy of ...
- Add RSS Feed Link Icons to WordPress Category Listings
- This brief tutorial explains two methods for adding RSS feed link icons to category listings. Let’s say that you have a list of category links, where each link targets a specific category view.

- WordPress RDF Source Makeover
- Beautiful Source-Code Output, Part 1: Whip your WordPress RDF Code into Submission
Update: This article applies specifically to WordPress 2.0.2, but may be generalized to any WP 2.0+ version.
I love looking at beautiful source-code output. However WordPress tends to spit code out in random chunks, often leaving spaces, line breaks, and tabs littered throughout the source output. This messes things up. Lists don’t look like lists and logically written code often appears scattered along the page carelessly. Often, ...
