I would like to know how I can create an RSS feed url that will display the first item in the feed. Here's the example:
The RSS Feed for TechCrunch is:
http://feedproxy.google.com/TechCrunch
If I was to turn this into a 'clickable' link and placed it on my web page...upon being clicked by the user it would display the feed itself in the users browser. Simple enough.
But how can I add parameters to it? Would it be possible create the URL similar to this?:
http://feedproxy.google.com/TechCrunch?displaypost=1
The goal would be that upon clicking this modified link the user would be taken directly to the first item in the feed instead of being showing the feed itself. (note: the above link is just for example, it doesn't work, I need to know how to create it properly)
In the end, after I know how to create these links I'd like to bind them to buttons on my site to that whenever a user visits that page they can click on the various buttons to my fav blogs and will be instantly taken to the newest item in the associated feed.
