Hi folks!

Does anyone wanna have a go at a recipe for Financial Sense?

I tried myself, but my Python skills are quite lacking. It's a feed with a title, description and the content only contains a read more link.

If no one's up for it, no worries, I am a total noob around here anyways...

Cheers!

If so, here are the details:

Title: Financial Sense
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/fso

The read more link is like this: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/fso/~3/gaq5PXLR3wc/5206

and takes you to this page: http://www.financialsense.com/node/5206?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaig n=Feed%3A+fso+%28Financial+Sense%29&utm_term=FSO

This is when I got stuck....

http://www.financialsense.com/node/5206 seems to be a shortened url

the full url is: http://www.financialsense.com/contri...hts-05-10-2011

and the print url is: http://www.financialsense.com/print/contributors/ned-schmidt/gold-thoughts-05-10-2011

I am not sure how to get from the short url to the print url. The only clue is that the print url is linked from the main article page, so perhaps it could be extracted in the python script.

p.s. If anyone follows world markets, this site seriously keeps you one step ahead of the game. I'd be running blind without it... (or maybe it's that I am virtually going blind reading it on a LCD...
