Adding Thumbnails on Feeds

    I use my WordPress site (http://www.onewayphotoblog.com) as a photoblog. If I subscribe to it via Google Reader, I see the whole full-size images on my Google Reader feed. I wanted to encourage people to come to my blog rather than just read it on a feed/reader, so I went into the ‘Reading’ tab under ‘Options’ and changed the ‘syndication feed’ from ‘full text’ to ‘summary’. This did the job.

    However, before, whenever I posted an image it also appeared on the VFXY Photos website (my participant’s page is here http://photos.vfxy.com/photoblogs/3304), but after I made the changes described above, my images stopped appearing on VFXY because they couldn’t pick up the images from my feed. I have now changed my settings back to how they were originally.

    So, my question is… is there a way I can have my images appear only as thumbnails on Google Reader (etc) – to encourage people to go to my blog – and at the same time have them appear on VFXY? The people at VXFY said the images on the feed only need to be thumbnails for it to work.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Not on a WordPress.com blog as far as I know, unless you post thumbnails only in your blog, linking them to the full-size image. Which, of course, you could do.
