Adding an image to your RSS feed can give it a more professional
look. As defined in the RSS specification, feed images are
relatively small. Typically, icons, logos, or other small images
that are related to the feed contents are used as RSS feed
images.
RSS feed images are not included inside the RSS feed file. The
RSS feed image is a separate image file that is linked to by your
feed. An RSS feed reader will download your feed, and then download
the image your feed links to. If you use Feed Editor to load an
image from disk, or to modify an existing feed image, you will need
to upload it, in addition to uploading your feed, to your website.
The graphic upload function is almost the same as RSS file upload
function described above.
The RSS specification supports only .jpeg, .gif and .png
images.

The “Image URL” field must contain a link to the image file
(for example, http://www.mysite.com/rss-image.gif).
The “Link” must contain a hyperlink that will be associated with
your Feed Image. To make sure you have entered the data correctly,
use the preview function. |

Besides the primary Feed Image, you can insert images to your
RSS feed using the corresponding HTML tags (in your Feed or Item
description) or as enclosures to your items. |
