I need to be able to see an image in my feed.
I currently receive my feed from del.icio.us. In the notes field at my del.icio.us items I have inserted image links instead of regular notes. I would think this would show the image on my website but instead it just shows the image link. If it helps, here is a sample feed from my del.icio.us account: http://del.icio.us/lastday
Can anyone please assist and tell me how I can have an image display from my feed?
Thank you in advance.

That is a non standard thing to do, but very clever! Just edit your digest, go into the manual template editing, then you'd need something like:
<img src="%DESCRIPTIONPLAIN%" />
And then that'd render the correct image tag in the digest, using your description as the supplied URL :)
AWESOME! I just tried it and it works except for one problem. The link seems to be cut off after 85 characters and unfortunately many of the image links at some news websites are much longer. What can I do? I'm happy to sign up for a premium account if that is what it takes. But, let me know.
You're using %DESCRIPTIONPLAIN% and not %DESCRIPTIONPLAIN,85% right? If so, then it's down to the content provided in the RSS feed. You might want to look at the del.icio.us RSS source directly. If they're not providing the full content in the feed, then unfortunately we don't get it either :(
All this worked, Thank you!
