在另一个网站上显示Wordpress内容

Question

I have a wordpress site, it's been set up with some custom post types.

I'd like to display one of these post types on another website. Another Wordpress website that is hosted by a different company and uses it's own database.

Specially, I'd like to display the last 8 items of my post type on a page on their website.

I would also like to style the feed, I'm assuming these styles could be put in the head of the page where the feed is being displayed, or imported from a separate file.

What is the best way of displaying Wordpress content on an external site?

I've been wondering about these options - Use my RSS feed and style the resulting HTML (don't know where to start here). - In the PHP connect to my database and pull in the posts as if it was on my website.

I feel really stuck as to where to start. Could someone point me in the right direction?

You should read the RSS Feed. Connect to a remote database is more costly. This code read the RSS feed and print the result:

function getFeed($feed_url) {

    $content = file_get_contents($feed_url);
    $x = new SimpleXmlElement($content);

    echo "<ul>";

    foreach($x->channel->item as $entry) {
        echo "<li><a href='$entry->link' title='$entry->title'>" . $entry->title . "</a></li>";
    }
    echo "</ul>";
}

getFeed("http://your-wordpress-site/feed/");

Add a CSS class to the LI element and it's done.
