Slurp, I figured out how you can get it! I have a couple of "of the day" type documents that have varying URLs that I like to view, just as in this case. The trick is to find a feed or other source with a consistent name that links to the daily content with a varying URL. I googled for the "today's featured article" page, and found someone who has a Wikipedia account and created a customized page that suits our purposes perfectly. Thanks go out to "Netjeff" in Seattle.

In Sunrise, set a new document to point to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Netjeff/TOFA

Give it a link depth of 1, since the full article of the day will be available on the "more" link... You also might want to experiment with filters, since this page does link to other things (in the left column, as do all wikipedia pages). That will help make the file sizes smaller.

BTW, the page where I found this link is:

http://www.netjeff.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=273. I'm going to send him a message thanking him.

Enjoy!
