In my RSS (created with yahoo pipes) every story has an icon/image. Directions say "If each XML story uses an image, use the tag-name of the element that provides the URL to the image. "I can't figure out what this is looking for, I can't seem to make the images show up in the Simulator. Here's the URL I have: feed://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=8edaf07cd12982577f3412499caa164e&_render=rss thanks in advance if anyone can help with this.

Unfortunately it works different than the XML element. Do you have control of the website? I see it's a wordpress site. You can use a plugin like "Insert RSS Thumbnails" to create the proper xml element. If you don't own the site, I think you can use yahoo pipes to strip and rename the element. It's a little complicated, but I think you can do it. Best is to get the rss properly formed with the xml element defined. Hope this helps. Comments The images are displaying as CDATA within a tag.
