This all seems like it should be working to me but my appended "read more" link displays as plain text instead of as a link... Any insight or help on fixing this would be awesome! My pipe can be found at: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=1a22724d01568b8019be3125c7fb3075
The generated HTML in description looks good, however the Yahoo Pipes preview page strips all the HTML formatting, including the href you added.
I normally view RSS feeds in Google Reader. However Google Reader prefers to display the conetent:encoded field, which in your example, still contains the full description.
I modified your pipe to copy description to conetent:encoded:

This renders correctly in Google Reader.

I need to add hyperlinks either through summary or through description in API.
For example, I tried it for summary, I added Google, it came as text and not as HTML format, whereas in description, it came as HTML format but i couldn't hyperlink in it but just edit it.
I saw another solution in stackoverflow but that solution was not feasible because it redirects to another page before we get the actual site (Link to add to google calendar)
Can you please say some possible ways to add a hyperlink in Google Calendar?
You have same scenario from this StackExchage post.
You can try this solution:
Yes you can, by using the HTML code link. I have a Google calendar set
up for a club, if you are in edit mode, it appears as text, if you are
not in edit mode , ie log out of your Google mail, than look at your
calendar, the link will work. I hope this helps.
I don't know if anyone else experienced the same problem, but I just don't know why article description is not visible on my feed page after sharing.
I used these recommendations for customized URL sharing:
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
i.e. my link looks like this:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
If you follow this link, you'll see that the summary ("My favorite developer program") is visible in the preview. However, this summary is not visible in my feed after sharing.
The same happens if I use tag within page markup instead of specifying "summary" directly in URL
I'll be very grateful for your advice.
You can only choose one option:
Indicate an image with an og:image tag, and your image will display.
Don't indicate an image, and then your description will display.
Do you want both an image and a description to display? Currently just not possible. Maybe put the text of the description into the image? I have no idea, it would just be nice if they made their API work according to their own documentation.

I see many pages out there without OG tags (i.e. tags as specified here: http://ogp.me/), yet the Facebook URL Linter seems to be able to get an image and description for them.
For example - you won't see any OG tags (or even other relevant meta tags that could be used to infer said data) on the home page of:
http://www.magicka2.com
But when you take it through Facebook, it finds a description and image:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicka2.com%2F
So, what am I missing? The image and description they get seem very specific (and correct). Thanks :)
In case of missing Open-Graph tags, Facebook analyses the page and extracts the image for which it thinks it suits the best and what text should be the description text. They follow some "rules" to determine which picture, but there is also some AI involved and it's part of their systems.
If you want to control which image/title/description your page will show when shared, I would advise to always provide OG-details explicitly.
Maybe I am being a n00b here, but for the life of me, I cant find a simple drop in type solution for displaying an rss feed inside an aspx page?
I am looking for a simple solution, as when Firefox gets pointed to an rss feed, it just plainly displays it, no thrills, no fuss. I don't want to get into the xml and format it extensively. I just want a basic feed, will style it with font and a:styles. Thats it.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I am attempting to show a worpress "feed" inside an aspx page...
The simplest solution is to just display it in an iframe, browser will take care of the formating. Otherwise you'll need to parse the xml and create appropriate html tags for each of its elements and/or attributes.
I developed an RSS feed following a tutorial and I think the .xml file itself is in order. However, I have two problems:
When people click on the RSS link, it doesn't automatically load into their RSS readers
For those that don't have an RSS reader, clicking the link results in a page full of code which is not very understandable
I was hoping that there might be some tips on how to easily realize this.
Try to remove the <![CDATA[ and ]]> in the description tag.
I downloaded your xml, changed those lines, tested it on my server, and it worked in google's rss reader.
This is a browser and user profile dependent issue in how the RSS link is going to react when clicked on.
If the user has the action set up to automatically load it into their feed reader of choice, it will do that.
If they don't, then it won't.
For those that just see a raw dump, it could be that they're using a browser that does not support RSS feeds and will dump out the XML as raw text. Google Chrome (at least still in version 18) without the use of extensions or add-ons will usually be the dump truck culprit here.
