Properly Align Images in your WordPress RSS Feed
When was the last time you read your own blog’s RSS feed in a reader? Do you even subscribe to your feed? You might want to check what the folks who follow you are seeing.
In the most recent versions of WordPress, the code that aligns images with text in your blog posts has changed. While your posts look fine on your blog, they probably loose their formatting when being sent out on your RSS feed. It’s very likely that the image sits in its own paragraph, isolated from the associated text, which usually appears below the image instead of beside it.
There is a workaround for this problem. It’s not exactly a kosher fix, but it does resolve the problem for most feeds. A WordPress plugin has been designed by Janis Elsts called Align RSS Images.
It scans your RSS feed and ensures that every image has the correct alignment and margin settings. Basically, it appends the WordPress generated code with HTML elements that most all readers can use without error.
So, get the plugin and make your feed look as good as your post. Your followers will be delighted.
