Question about Seattle Times Recipe (adding a section list)

[kingsinger]

What changes would need to be done to the built-in Seattle Times recipe, so that it has a section list and an article list like say the NYT or LA Times?

It's pretty hard to navigate through say 100 articles that have no discernible order.

TIA

Just looking at the recipe, it appears that it's getting all the news from a single feed. So it won't naturally get divided into sections.

    feeds              = [(u'Articles', u'http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/rss/seattletimes.xml')]

So to fix it, the easiest way by far would be to find different feeds for each section you want and rework the recipe to include those as the feeds.

Here's the page of RSS feeds: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/fla...vices/rss.html

Personally, I'd remove the main feed, or at least comment it out, and add a selection of the other feeds and see if they all worked properly. I think it could be a pretty useful recipe once that change is made.

Here. I'd change the Feeds to this:

    feeds              = [
