  Why is it that the RSS feed, which wordpress creates for the blog, has no <media:thumbnail url=" tag?

  A lot of default RSS parsers are looking for that tag to produce an images in the reader.

  I’m talking about my blog hosted on WordPress.com itself.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We Volunteers don’t have an answer for you as to why our feeds are set up as they are so I tagged this thread for a direct response from Staff. Please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

  media:thumbnail is used to provide a thumbnail image as a representative of non-image media, like audio or video.

  At this time, we do not have a way to select an image to represent non-image media, so the feeds do not employ the use of media:thumbnail.
