I've added screenshots to the feeds finally. This has been on my to do list, but I finally got off my ass and spent a couple hours this morning figuring how to get Drupal to do it after a user made some demands. There are a bunch of things that aren't working for me on this site that I plan to fix, but I went with the idea of getting things up fast versus getting them out right. The experience will get better over time, I promise.
For the record, I don't plan to implement every suggestion that comes along, but this has been on my list. If you do have suggestions, please do make them, but know that I'm more receptive to a friendly tone.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. Cheers!

Me too. Michael, I'm curious to know how you handled this. I've been using full URLs for images. Does Drupal have a filter to prepend domain names to relative paths?

ckeiffer: I'm using the contemplate module to format the RSS feeds. It's really pretty simple actually. I hard coded the domain into the contemplate fields, but I'm sure there is a variable for the site url. Not sure I'm answering your question though.

You may have started to answer it :) I just remembered that you're using S3 for image file storage, so I assume that your image elements look something like this:
<img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/image.png" />With a fully qualified image URL, the default Drupal RSS feed or Atom module should display image references just fine. The only time I've had problems with image display is when I've use relative paths instead of full URLs.
I guess the difference on Konigi is that you're using CCK to create a content type that merges a thumbnail gallery with a node. Is this why you use contemplate to generate your RSS feed?
Send me an email if you'd rather not clutter your comment threads with Drupal talk :)

That's right, C. I actually have a field that references a filename, and a field that references the number of images associated with the entry. The images are numbered, and I have a loop that displays the images. Yes, I have to use contemplate because this is a CCK content type. -m
