This is an old archived post from my former blog The Idea Shower. It's where I cataloged my product explorations and releases, one of which ultimately became Pocket.

Images in RSS Feeds Should Have an Absolute URL
January 22, 2008
If you have images in your blog posts. When you enter them in, be sure to use an absolute URL or they may not show up correctly in RSS feed readers.
So instead of a relative URL like:
/images/myimage.jpg
Use an absolute URL like:
http://www.ideashower.com/images/myimage.jpg
Found out the hard way when I realized my images weren't showing up in people's readers. Yikes!
