A new, free service, currently in Beta testing called FeedTier offers the ability to scan a normal webpage and construct an RSS feed from it.

Try these out in your favourite RSS aggregator, or Use the File-\>New LiveMark option in Firefox’s Bookmark Manager:

Should have known it was too good to be true. Clicking an item inthe generated feed brings up an eror page. Some extra stuff is inserted into the URL that breaks it. :smack:

I should’ve tested it abit more thoroughly before posting.

Mods, please close this thread.
