Title:
  Some RSS feed channel images are rendered too large in External feeds
  block

Bug description:
  Some RSS/Atom feeds provide an over-large channel image/logo which
  disrupts display of the External Feed block in a Mahara Page.

  See e.g. this feed link from the BBC
  http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/worldservice/digitalp/rss.xml

  Obviously this is an issue with the feed source rather than Mahara per
  se. However,  the suggested solution is to set CSS  max-width style
  attribute and max-height style attributes to the channel image.

  Will simply need, say,  an appropriate CSS class added to htdocs >
  blocktype > externalfeed > theme > raw > feed.tpl and related .css
  entry

  The RSS 2.0 spec defines a max-width of 144px (default 88px) and max-
  height of 400px (default 31px). So, these would be reasonable values.
