Why don't images show up per link in my blidget?
I'm creating a sample blidget, and the blidget is finding the images associated with each story in my rss feed, but only making them available as the title image. I'd like to include the thumbnails of images next to each story link, or as a slideshow. The RSS feed is a standard WordPress 2.7 feed.
Here's my feed URL:

Inappropriate?I think I figured this out. The first image in the RSS feed associated with each item is blank. Is there an option in Blidgets to select which image should appear with each item? For example, display only the 2nd image found within each RSS item? -
Inappropriate?Hi Jeff,
There is not an option to associate the blidget with specific images per post. You could try using feedburner or another feed proxy service to make these changes.

Inappropriate?Dave,
I'll definitely check out Feedburner, or potentially editing my source rss.
It would be a nice feature if the Blidgets contained an option to make a blanket change, for example, "for each item with more than one image, use image number X", where the user could choose 1st, 2nd, etc. image/media element to use.

Inappropriate?No argument here on that feature idea, Jeff. We'll see if we can make it happen at some point in the future. It's a little tricky when it comes to the feed parsing and making sweeping changes, but it's certainly possible with enough work.
