Recipes for two alternative Chilean news sites: The Clinic Online and El Mostrador

[XaleM]

Hi

I attach two new recipes for Chilean news sources (both in Spanish):
- The Clinic Online, the news site associated with the popular satirical magazine
- El Mostrador, a popular and relatively long-established online newspaper that offers some alternative viewpoints to the traditional Chilean newspapers.
I have tested them and they seem to work reasonably well but any comments or suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated! In particular I'd quite like to add a thumbnail image of The Clinic cover, but don't know how to do it because they store the images as file names ussing the issue number (e.g. issue 357), not only by date, so it does not seem very easy to do it. Has anyone got any code that deals with this situation that could be adapted? Thanks very much.

If you hunt around the site using FireBug and FireFox, you may be able to find a link to the "current issue" or something equivalent. That link will often have the issue number you can parse out of it, and with the issue number you can do what you want.

That is helpful, thanks very much.
