Anyone have experience with Pipes? I'm trying to create an RSS feed for a particular author on a small town newspaper website. Basically, I want a feed to follow the works of Cst. Douglas Enns on the Ponoka News website (http://www.albertalocalnews.com/pono...y&stories=true).

Here are his two latest columns:
http://www.albertalocalnews.com/pono.../18044934.html
http://www.albertalocalnews.com/pono.../17813289.html

As far as I can tell, there's nothing distinct about the url to his articles and the only way to tell they are his stories is to open each link until you find one with his name in the byline.

I've muddled with Pipes for only a short time and have not been able to come up with even a half-decent solution. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated (especially if you can make a working pipe).
