I have been trying for ages for get images to show up in my RSS feed for IE7 but thats another story.

Turns out <![CDATA[]]> is your friend an i guess IE had a look in those tags anyway and rendered them as HTML content. However i noticed a lovely effect on live.com where by live.com generates a nice animated slideshow of all images in my CDATA tags nicely formated next to the rss feed content titles.

As far as i am aware there is not documentation outlining this effect, i am not displeased however i would live to know how is possible i can edit the size of the slideshow perhaps... its a bit small.

You can test with my rss feed http://www.originsinfo.com/Content/Rss/research.xml

kind regards,

    Wow old post that went noticed... Anyhow the answer to this one is yes, <![CDATA[]] is the best way to format your RSS feed. In terms of actually modifying the slideshow, its not possible as its a development issue on local.live, internal to Microsoft.

    VE related posts should really go to the VE development forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=537&SiteID=1 where it can get the proper attention
