Most of Chance's teachers have blogs they update either daily or weekly with class assignments, activities, and upcoming work. I keep track of those through Google Reader. All but one of his teachers have "sub-blogs" off the school's "main" TypePad blog site, and all those teachers have "feed link is here" buttons so it's easy to add those to Reader. His other teacher, though, has a top-level TypePad blog with no feed link.

I hate that.

But then comes this - hacking WP URLs to get a feed. Perhaps TypePad does something similar? And sure enough, it does. The trick was getting the blog folder from looking at the permalinks, and referencing the feed's atom.xml file.
