After the LibraryThing blog pointed out that their blog widget (previously unknown to those involved) would be a better solution than running their RSS through FeedRoll, the Shenandoah Public Library site is now using said widget. This now allows them to show cover images and limit to particular tags should the need arise. (Similar use of the widget are forthcoming on the Creston Public Library and the Southwestern Community College LRC sites.)
See, all you need is a good idea and the right person to be passionate about it and things do start to happen.
