*Please pardon the un-styled mess why I am rethinking and re-designing my blog!*
Another Quick Tip! Yay! Last night I discovered how easy it is to add snippets of blog posts to other non wordpress pages (check out my homepage) with Simplepie and I thought I would show you guys how! Leave a comment and let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions!
Click read more to get the code snippets and see simple pie in action!

< ?php
// This shows where simple pie is located simplepie.inc.
require_once(‘php/simplepie.inc’);
// Your Feed Address
$feed = new SimplePie(‘http://feeds2.feedburner.com/designoblog’);
$feed->handle_content_type();

Hello
Could you please show, how to shorten titles and discriptions, too?
For example:
I only want to show the last 3 entries.
With titles not longer than 150 Caracter
And 250 Caracters for the Entries
Thank you.

Very, very useful little vid! Perfect to get one quickly rolling, especially after screwing around with other RSS parsers that weren’t near as user friendly for days. Feeling a lot better about getting my own clients into RSS in a solid way. Thanks Nikki.

Hi Nikki, thanks for the cool tutorial. I see the feed on your homepage pulls in the images from the article too, can you explain how you did that in simplepie?
Thanks!
