If you’re in New York on March 20th, you might want to check out their event in partnership with Global Action for Children – we designed the invitation email as well.

The post Launch: Planet Awesome Kid! appeared first on mimoYmima.

Here’s something we lifted from their about page to let you know what they are all about:

We can all learn a lot about true style and inner light from these kids. A child’s sense of self comes shining through in his or her style and what he or she chooses to wear. It is one of the most basic and instinctual ways that children show the world who they are. Whether they’ve dressed themselves or have been dressed by an equally awesome parent, we just love it. Babies, too, can be fashionmaticians!

Planet Awesome Kid recently partnered with Global Action For Children, (Angelina Jolie’s organization) and will be organizing an awesome charity event soon! Here’s the invitation we designed:

Magpie & RSS

If you’ve come to this page you probably already use magpie, if not, magpie is an RSS parser that can be used to display your blog posts on any php page. You can get Magpie here

Complete Code

You don’t need to know what any of this stuff means really, just change path/that/points/to/magpie/rss_fetch.inc to be the actual path to that file on your server, set the $url variable to point to your RSS feed, and $num_items sets the number of posts you want to see.

<dl>
<?php 
define('MAGPIE_INPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');					
define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');					
require_once 'path/that/points/to/magpie/rss_fetch.inc';

$url = 'http://feeds.mimoymima.com/mym-news?format=xml';
$num_items = 5;							
$rss = fetch_rss($url);
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $num_items);


foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
$title = $item[title];
$link = $item[link];
$description = $item[description];
$pubdate = $item[pubdate];

$title = htmlentities($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$link = htmlentities($link, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

preg_match('/[0-9]+/', $pubdate, $pubDay);
preg_match('/[A-Za-z]+s/', $pubdate, $pubMonth);
preg_match('/[0-9]{4}/', $pubdate, $pubYear);

$shortDate = "$pubMonth[0]" . "$pubDay[0], " . "$pubYear[0]";

echo "<dt><a href="$link" class="Popup">$title</a></dt>";
echo "<dd class="PubDate">$shortDate</dd>";
echo "<dd class="Description">$description</dd>";

} ?>

</dl>

The Curly Quote Fixes

If you already use magpie to display your blog posts and just need to fix your quotes, then you would just add these pieces from the code above to your code:

define('MAGPIE_INPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');					
define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');

and

$title = htmlentities($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$link = htmlentities($link, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

If you run PHP5 on your server, it comes with it’s own simple to use parser called SimpleXML which you could use instead of magpie, we’ll show you how to do that in a future article, so subscribe to our feed if you want to be notified.
