   Some RSS feeds have text only, while others also contain an image for the item.

   Here at WordPress.com we have a Flickr widget and an RSS widget. The Flickr widget displays images, but only from a Flickr feed. The RSS widget displays any RSS feed, but only the text.

   There's already a list of choices for what to display out of the feed, when you add the RSS widget. Any chance of adding "image" as one of the choices?

   (I already have a feed with images. It doesn't come from Flickr.)

   Any suggestions for a workaround other than adding the images to Flickr?

   Thanks.

   The blog I need help with is trinketzjewelry.wordpress.com.

   Flickr feeds are ordinary RSS feeds with the standard image element. Try putting the non-flickr feed into the flickr widget and see if it works.

   @vaguereference Hey, thanks! I didn't think of that. It works (sort of). It displays only the image, no text. I'd still like to see the RSS widget modified. But this will work for now; much better than text only.
