I hope somebody can create a recipe for "The Onion", http://www.theonion.com/content/#

Thanks in advance,
David

Anyone want to try their hand at "Foreign Policy" with subscription options? It's a bit out of my skill set, unfortunately.

Thanks for calibre! I'm just discovering what it can do and I'm so excited to get my news on my reader!

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this Utah news source:

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only political junkie. Can something be done for:
http://www.politico.com/rss/

Thanks in advance if anyone can help. I'm reading the user guide, but I'm pretty tech stupid.

Hi, I was hoping someone could create a basic working recipe of 2-3 rss feeds from The News-Times, my local paper. Once I have a working example, I should be able to edit it to get the feeds I want. Thanks!!

Could someone explain how I use these recipes and icons to get the periodical?

Thanks

Gave this a shot myself, but I seem to be running into a formatting issue that crop up whenever a particular RSS feed has nothing available for the day being downloaded. There's a few other minor issues that probably could be cleaned up as well that I'm not sure how to do either, but that's the major problem I'm having at this time. I've been trying to figure out how to fix this, but no luck so far. If anyone has time to take a look at this one at some point down the road, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Is it possible to create a recipe that would rip all blog's entries? There's a blog called http://www.copyblogger.com I'd like to read offline on my reader. It has an RSS feed which returns just 10 recent posts (full text + images.) How about getting all its content via calibre?

[kovidgoyal]

calibre recipes can parse HTML pages to get a list of articles instead of using RSS, but you have to write a little code for that

Thanks for the custom feeds guys! Especially kiklop74 who it seems just keeps pumping them out. I have tried the Detroitnews.com but it only gives the first part of articles.... and they just went to a subscription model for full articles it seems.... so that one is not going to happen now. If anyone has a clue how to get a full feed for that or the www.freep.com full feed would be great too. I seem to be able to get half way there often but can't figure how to point to the print version which is full.

Also the USA Today feed right now only seems to give the first paragraph of each article.

Great work guys! This app is amazing!
