Permanent Links to New York Times Articles

After a few weeks, normal links to New York Times articles get locked behind a pay-per-view wall. However, it is possible to construct links that will work indefinitely by using their RSS feeds. Here's what you do:

  1. Go to the New York Times list of RSS feeds.
  2. Click on the link for the section for the article you want to link to.
  3. Change the URL, replacing "nyt" with "userland".
  4. Copy the link on the resulting page and you're done.
