Create recipe where site has no RSS?

jck99nz · 06-09-2011, 11:46 PM

I'm new to Calibre, but interested in creating a recipe to download articles from NZ Listener (www.listener.co.nz). No registration or subscription needed. The site doesn't seem to use RSS feeds, and the intro guide in Calibre uses these feeds to create a recipe. Is there a guide for creating one in absence of RSS? Or is someone happy to create the recipe?
Articles have 'print' formats, but latest articles are in 'preview' mode (only first few paras shown). The full text is not posted until a couple of weeks after the print edition of the magazine.
Thanks for any assistance/advice,
Jeff.
