You are right.  There is a 'ignore HTML' control in my RSS Reader and the 
title and intro display instead of automatically linking to the web 
page.  The problem is that the links and pictures in the article do not 
show up.  I subscribe to about 75 rss feeds, mostly blogs, and none of them 
exhibit this behavior.  It looks like most of the scoop sites I have 
investigated are using custom code to create more standard RSS feeds.

I never heard of RDF until I started working with scoop so this makes 
sense.  I wanted to publish an RSS feed that looks and acts like the feeds 
published by the community.  Is there an enhancement to RSS feeds anywhere 
in our future?

Chris Schults at Grist.org (many thanks) sent me box code that produces 
their RSS feed but the cron job is failing.  The cron page gives no error 
detail and there is nothing in the debug log.  Is there any way to debug a 
cron job?

thanx for your time -gary-
