LifeHacker Recipe

MuzzStified · 02-11-2011, 10:57 PM

Hi the recipe included with Calibre for fetching Life Hacker seems to have been broken in the last week, coinciding with a redesign of the Life Hacker website.

Whereas previously it resulted in the individual blog articles, it now only results in the index of contents.

Unfortunately I am new Calibre and recipes, so am not able to workout the problem. Can this recipe be easily fixed ?

By the way thanks to kovidgoyal and any assistants for such a great tool as Calibre.

I noticed this too. What I'm going to do is that Im' going to make my own recipe of LifeHacker. If you want, I can post it here when I'm done. I'm kinda new at the recipe making, but I'll try my best.

I also need a new recipe for this, looking forward to it.

I started working on the recipe now that it's the weekend, but I found a small problem. I found links for tags in LifeHacker, but I don't know how many categories LifeHacker has?
