I will do the breaking news feed for now and await your reply.


Edit: I went ahead and done the whole thing. I commented out the AFL teams and you can pick whichever one you like.

Thanks a million, I will download it & try it out

In previous feeds I have done i enter the feed address and it gets the link and uses it as the title and then the content that is listed under it parses part of it and uses it as a description. Well in this feed here the content is all on the feed page so it doesn't go to the actual link. In the code above I was assuming that it went to the links one by one inside the feed. I was trying to strip the content that the link showed.
So my question to you is, what determines if it uses the feed main page content (the one that has all the links on it) or if it navigates to each link? I hope you understand what I'm asking if not i will try to explain myself better.
this code here works cause for whatever reason the links on the feed page are not followed. but in other basic feeds i have simply done nothing more than add the feed and it follows the link

Spoiler:

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe
from calibre.ebooks.BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup, re
class AdvancedUserRecipe1282101454(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = 'How To Geek'
    language = 'en'
    __author__ = 'TonytheBookworm'
    description = 'Daily Computer Tips and Tricks'
    publisher = 'Howtogeek'
    category = 'PC,tips,tricks'
    oldest_article = 2
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    linearize_tables = True
    no_stylesheets = True
    remove_javascript   = True
    
    
    
    
    remove_tags =[dict(name='a', attrs={'target':['_blank']}),
                  dict(name='table', attrs={'id':['articleTable']}),
                  dict(name='div',   attrs={'class':['feedflare']}),
                  ]
                   
    feeds          = [
                      ('Tips', 'http://feeds.howtogeek.com/howtogeek')
                      
                    ]

If use_embedded_content = False is set to False in your recipe, it will not use the content on the feed page. If it's not specifically set, I believe it will decide based on length of content on that page.
