Feed journals should show the source

Title:
Feed journals should show the source

Area:
user interface, feeds

Summary:
Put the feed source link into the feed journal view for clarity.

Description:
New feeds and broken feeds have very blank journal pages, which are a bit off-putting. Even feeds with lots of content can be confusing, depending on the format of that content. Right now the source information is only on the profile page. Because there's no original content in the journals, showing the feed source right there in the journal view would make them easier to understand.

Poll #9374 Feed journals should show the source
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 57

I suggest adding it to the Profile module since it already has a link to the site the feed is connected with (although it should probably be made more obvious what each link is for then).

That, too! But I also agree with filling the blank emptiness of the journal itself with something (preferably, the feed in question).

Perhaps copied into the journal subtitle? That'd be displayed on the journal view under the title, wouldn't it? (I mean, the style that feeds are in supports display of that field, doesn't it?)
