oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
cover_url =
encoding = 'utf-8'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
keep_only_tags = [

as you can see, "cover_url" is blank, i'm not sure how to format the variables because the url for it will change depending on the date, and it's my first time using python.
here is the basic format for the ny daily news cover page.

can somebody show me an example template on how to do this?
thanks.
i've another question, in the feeds section, what's that "u" for that just in front of the title and url? i.e., (u'NY Crime', u'http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/index_rss.xml'),
btw, i couldn't find the custom recipe for the ny daily news here in this forum.
here are all teh feeds from the ny daily news
