How do I add an image to an item in RSS 2.0?

Question

Is there a way to send only an Image with a link and some alt text for each item in an RSS feed?

I looked at the enclosure tag but this is only for videos

Answer 1

To work with the Mailchimp RSS to email feature, they expect the image to be specified in a element inside . This is their source for the feed item's image macro in their templates.

Thus, you need to add to the declarations

xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/

Then inside the element add

Without the extra declaration, the feed is invalid since media:content is not a known element.
