rss gets an update

For each link in the RSS feed, you'll now you'll find the number of comments, submitter, reddit it was submitted to, and a thumbnail (if one exists, but there's also a preference to turn that off.).

We've also given in to all the redditors asking for the headlines to link to the reddit comments page. Hard as it may be to believe, this was a relic from a time before comments existed; when we added comments, it just seemed reasonable to keep the status quo.

But since reddit comments (I'm proud to say) are often a great complement to -- or sometimes even more informative/entertaining than -- the content they're discussing, we ought to show them off. Naturally, you can still go directly to the submission by clicking on [link].
