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:
Code:
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.
