RewriteCond for web based RSS readers

Now that Google Reader is gone, there are more than a handful of replacements popping up. In order to allow images to show in the web-based RSS readers, I needed to edit the .htaccess file for my web site to allow the images to show, as the default for my web site is to prevent hotlinking from most websites (other than wiredprairie.us).

I’ve tried to gather those that seemed popular, so I’m putting the list I’ve got here so that it might help others (and maybe some of you will have other suggestions):
