BTW back, the reason I don’t use the arXiv feed is that (as far as I know) it doesn’t provide full publication information (journal, volume, page). Not essential, but useful. That and just in case some papers don’t get put on astro-ph.

thanks for sharing this, but I clcked on your publication list and it didn’t to work… lots of error messages.

BTW, for the lazy people like me there is a RSS feed option on the arXiv (http://arxiv.org/help/rss). If you registers your “public author identifier” (I guess somewhere in your account settings) then there is a feed associated with your identifyer which you can use inside your website. See e.g. http://www.physi.ch/lukas/Publications.html

OK, enough for today, cheers, Lukas

wp_remote_fopen() is a function provided by WordPress. It should ‘just work’ for WordPress users (assuming they have got php in posts working, e.g. using Exec-PHP.)

For non-Wordpress users, I originally used the file_get_contents PHP function. Note that this will often require some permissions to be set in the PHP configuration.

I’ve added the relevant line (commented out, which the code prettifier misleadingly capitalises) in the posted code.

Now I just need to write some papers…
