Steve, the Al.com one was actually much easier!
note that i have only selected a few feeds as an example, you need to edit the recipe with a text editor to suit your needs by adding the feeds you want
i.e.
Code:
(u'Birmingham News', u'http://blog.al.com/spotnews/atom.xml')
i'm also assuming that you are not interested in the comments following the articles, but if you are then in this section:
Code:
keep_only_tags = [
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'content_masthead'}),
dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'article'})
]
swap the second line with the following:
Code:
dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['article','comment','comment reply']})
