How to: Del.icio.us links auto-post
April 23, 2008 by Nicki
Several people have asked me about the Del.icio.us posts. These are generated automatically by a function in your Del.icio.us account. 
Get started
To find this function, go to your Del.icio.us account. Go to Settings. Under Blogging, click daily blog posting. Click add a new thingy.
Now the following settings will vary based on your blog’s platform and/or provider…

I love looking at other people’s del.icio.us links. There’s a new service out there called diigo, which is basically del.icio.us with some ramped-up social networking capabilities, but that’s a little too much linkage for me. This is a great service; I hope more people take advantage of the auto-post feature to their blogs.

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I hardly ever login properly to my del.icio.us account so would never of found that. May give it a try.
TY – I haven’t been brave enough yet to try, but once I get my theme updated to work correctly (ie: the numbering) I’ll try it.

Nothing about the directions is unclear, but I haven’t done anything with del.icio.us since blogger utilized categories. What is the links auto-post generally used for?
