Preview Images For External Sources

[Gavin]

I run a website, and have noticed that Hallpass includes it in the external sources section. First off, thanks for putting me into the mix! Secondly, how are the preview images on this site generated? I notice that none of my posts show up with those, so I was wondering if there were a way to tag the ones in the posts so they show up here.

What's up with that?

We detect thumbnails in a variety of ways. The best way to get thumbnails to show up for your feed is to use the Media RSS module.

You can check out information on the format here:

And the actual specification here:

Specifically, check out the <media:thumbnail> tag and remember that we size our thumbnails for rss feeds to 120px by 90px.

If you have any more questions please let me know.

Thanks.
