 * Hi guys, this is the code I’m using to extract info from an external feed:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is **ten
   lines**. Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * I’d like to change the caching lifetime (I think that default is set to 10 hours)..
   do I need to put this in functions.php or I can also add it right after the <?
   php tag..?
 * add_filter(‘wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime’, create_function(‘$a’, ‘return 
   300;’));
 * Thanks in advance! 🙂
