[theme-reviewers] Theme Reference Page Help

[Chip Bennett]

If you're pulling in an RSS feed, I would recommend using
wp_widget_rss_output().

For example, here's how I pull in the WPORG support forum RSS feed for
Oenology:

<?php
wp_widget_rss_output( array(
'url' => 'http://wordpress.org/support/rss/tags/oenology',
'title' => 'Latest Oenology Support Topics',
'items' => 5,
'show_summary' => 0,
'show_author' => 0,
'show_date' => 1
) );
?>


Simple, and safe.
