For me, the idea of an RSS blog feed is to make it appear that individual webmaster wrote the content, so it should be done in a manner consistant with the way a webmaster would do it. Yes, it would probably be more effecient to just link to the tour (or signup page) but most individuals writing a blog are trying to keep an audience, so they won't do it that way.

My other gripe is picture size. Go cruise blogs, most of them are using at least 250 x 250 images (or 300 x 200 or whatever). Most people don't use micro thumbs in a blog entry, unless it is a table of thumbs that link to images.

Using the same text and offering 2 or 3 different image sizes or shapes might help.
