Looking at your blog front page, it is quite easy to spot story permalinks becaue they have a rel="bookmark" attribute. So it is trivial to pull out these links from YOUR pages. Tweeaking my original Pagelinks2OPML bookmarklet v slightly so it checks for this attribute gives: <a>\n\n'+tv+'\n\n\n');void(n=d.createTextNode(o));ll.appendChild(n);for (i=0;i\n');void(lt=d.createTextNode(r));void(ll.appendChild(lt));};};void(o='\n\n\n');void(n=d.createTextNode(o));ll.appendChild(n);void(b=d.getElementsByTagName('body'));void(b[0].appendChild(ll));}"&gt;JT's Stories</a> which will work on your homepage. It needs a server script really to make this available as an OPML file. But I do wonder, what's wrong with RSS in this case? tony John-

Not quite sure what you mean….how do I give my permalinks (post titles) on the homepage a special markup?

And then once an OPML is generated, will this be dynamic as posts are added and drop off the homepage?
