11	// Figure out how many total items there are, but limit it to 5.

12	$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity( 5 );

13

14	// Build an array of all the items, starting with element 0 (first element).

15	$rss_items = $rss->get_items( 0, $maxitems );

23	<?php else : ?>

24	<?php // Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink. ?>

25	<?php foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>

26

<li>

27	<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>"
